Rising Canadian Country artist and multiple CMA Ontario Award nominee Karli June releases her upbeat new single “Feel Like Home” featuring Ryan Langdon.
Produced by Gavin Slate (Tim Hicks, James Barker Band) and written by Gavin and Karli, “Feel Like Home” is an anthemic country-pop love song that tells the nostalgic tale of growing up in a small town, where every street and landmark holds cherished memories. It is all about finding that special someone who makes you remember that familiar feeling of being somewhere you feel the most comfortable and most like yourself.
“As a small-town girl – that place has such a special place in my heart. This song captures the magic of a small town and finding somebody that gives you that same feeling of pulling back onto those familiar roads. It’s my version of a long song. Ryan Langdon brought the perfect voice to the track, and it so awesome getting to bring the song to its potential with him!” – Karli June
Ryan Langdon, the former MLB prospect renowned for his powerful oak-barrel baritone, joins Karli on the summer love song. Ryan’s 2020 breakout EP “Lit in The Sticks”, featured an impressive collection of six exhilarating country tracks, including his chart-topping single “Country Like You” which has maintained a strong position in the Top 40 on Canadian Country Radio. With nearly 8 million steams, Ryan’s music remains an adored choice among country music fans.
“When I first heard the song “Feel Like Home”, I was immediately excited to be a part of this duet. Not only do I believe our voices match really well together, the message behind the lyrics really resonated with me. One of my biggest values is my homegrown roots, so I always searched for someone who shared these same values. This song really captured what I consider to be the meaning of real love, and I am so excited for the world to hear it.” – Ryan Langdon.
