 Five O Fives dropped their new song, If You Won't Say It' a couple of weeks ago. It's the third single for the band (after the release of ' Something To Do ' back in January) and this time the sound is darker. The track talks about being the  one taking the first step in a relationship :That moment where there's a mutual attraction and interest,but nobody says so, creating insecurity on your perception of the partner's feelings:'If you won't say it, how will I  know?'. This uncertainty burst in some existentialism : 'If you won't say it, where will I go?'.  The track begins with an indie-rock bass, which helps to set the scene,  to then melt with folky percussion at the start of the chorus, highlighting Alice's voice.

 Carly Pearce released her third album on Friday. The album comes as a following part of her 29 EP, dropped in February. The album includes the 7 songs from the EP and eight new tracks.This extension of 29 the EP melts perfectly with the songs unveiled back in February.  It feels like the rest of the chapter, a part of her healing told with all the authenticity.  One of the new songs  is Never Wanted To Be That Girl   with Ashley Mcbride. There 's no  other artist that could drive the song with that honesty than Ashley Mcbride. In her Genius commentary to her song One night standards , she described the song as 'an exercise in honesty'  and that is what  Never Wanted To Be That Girl  is about : Speaking your feelings in such a difficult situation in a relationship;being the other girl. The album starts with the funny and country-rock  Diamondback (cowritten with Kelsea Ballerini , among others), which has some of  the  Before...

 The nominations for the CMA Awards came out three days ago. The ceremony will take place on November 10th awarding the best country artists, singles and albums of the year (the eligibility period is from July 1,2020 to June 30, 2021). Let's get into the nominations: ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR: This is the biggest award of the night. Eric Church and Chris Stapleton earn a nomination in this category. Both lead the nominations with five each.  Eric Church Luke Combs Miranda Lambert Chris Stapleton Carrie Underwood Church and Stapleton nominations seem reasonable. Both have released projects this year, which could be candidates to 'Album Of The Year'. Luke Combs gets a nomination too. He is one of the biggest country stars nowadays and he has had great chart success with 'Forever After All'.  The only nomination that is a little disappointing for me is Miranda Lambert's. Despite releasing The Marfa Tapes, she's been living by the success of 'Settling down...

John Mayer's latest album Sob Rock contains some great songwriting lines. These are my favourites . What are yours? 1.Last Train Home (Songwriter:John Mayer)  2. New Light ( Songwriters: John Mayer and Ernest Wilson)  3.Wild Blue (Songwriter: John Mayer)  4. I Guess I Just Feel Like ( Songwriter : John Mayer )  5. Why You No Love Me (Songwriter: John Mayer) 

 Back in July John Mayer dropped his long-awaited album, Sob Rock.  The project comes three years after the first single (included on the album), New Light , which showed the direction of John Mayer's new music: very synthed and 80s-influenced. This is revealed again  in Last Train Home , with synths that recall Toto's smash hit Africa. To promote this song, Mayer teased it saying 'New music done the old way '. This seems the motto for the album and it really fits together with the sound of it: John Mayer goes back in time, to the 80s to make his new music and looks to the production and arrangements of those times, like in  the Christopher Cross-influenced Shot in the Dark .  The ensemble of 10 tracks contains the three previous singles: the mentioned New Light , the soul-pop  Carry Me Away and I Guess I Just Feel Like, which remained closer to the usual Mayer's sound.  In the remaining seven tracks, John Mayer coquets with other genres, from countr...
