Today, rising country artists Waylon Wyatt and Carter Faith join forces on the heartfelt country folk duet, “I’m Sorry But I Love You ,” via Music Soup/Darkroom Records. The single follows Waylon’s debut album release, Dustpiles. Co-written by Waylon Wyatt, Carter Faith, and Tofer Brown, “I’m Sorry But I Love You ” explores the vulnerability of falling deeply for someone without knowing whether those feelings are returned. Anchored by steady acoustic guitar, Waylon and Carter’s distinct, textured vocals bring an intimate rawness to the track. At its core, the song is a candid confession—capturing the hesitation, longing, and fear of heartbreak that come with crossing the line from falling for someone to admitting it.Waylon says of the track: Writing this song with Carter and Tofer was an absolute blast to say the least. This song is what I believe to be the epitome of a good country song, Carter came into the room with the idea and I was immediately blown away by her writing and just felt honored to get to be in the room and working with her.Throughout his rising career, Waylon’s collaborations have highlighted his versatility and ability to connect with country’s most exciting voices. His RIAA Gold-certified “Jailbreak” with Bayker Blankenship, “Smoke & Embers” with Willow Avalon, and “Didn’t Forget” with Wyatt Flores each showcase his ability to create standout tracks across the genre.Waylon’s debut album, Dustpiles, is rooted in the universal search for lasting love. It traces the journey from heartbreak and uncertainty to finding the person you’re meant to grow old with—a love that endures until nothing remains but piles of dust. Written between Nashville, Oklahoma, and Arkansas without a set timeline, the album took shape organically through Waylon’s unwavering commitment to songwriting. The result is a raw, mature collection that explores heartbreak, grief, and resilience with an emotional honesty well beyond the artist’s 19 years.

Hunter Valley singer-songwriter Kylie Jane ushers in spring with her soaring country ballad ‘ Seasons Changing’ – a powerful reflection on the different seasons of life, and the hope that comes from knowing even the hardest ones eventually pass.
 
Driven by Kylie’s huge vocal range and authentic country production, ‘Seasons Changing’ finds beauty in life’s uncertainty. 
 
“Season’s Changing is about the different seasons we all move through in life and love,” she explains. “We’re constantly growing, changing and figuring things out, and sometimes life doesn’t go the way we planned. There are seasons where we’re falling apart, seasons where we’re putting the pieces back together, and seasons where we’re simply learning, growing and doing the best we can.”
 
Arriving on the first day of spring, the timing gives the track’s central metaphor a fitting real-world backdrop – a new season of growth and, for Kylie, the beginning of a new chapter in country music.
 
“For me, this song is about embracing those changes and remembering that the harder seasons don’t last forever. There’s always a new beginning around the corner, especially when you have someone beside you who feels like your solid ground through it all.”
 
‘Seasons Changing’ was written with rising singer-songwriter and producer, Jake Davey, though it wasn’t what the pair had planned to work on that day. Kylie had arrived at the studio to record an entirely different song before a conversation about the changes unfolding in both their lives sparked something new.
 
From there, the song took shape naturally, with Davey also producing the single and the pair leaning into a warm and uplifting sound that gives Kylie’s powerhouse vocal plenty of room to soar.
 
“Once we had the idea, the song came together really naturally. Jake just got the feeling and story behind it, and we wanted the production to feel warm, uplifting and real. I love that when I listen to it now, it takes me back to where we both were in our lives when we wrote it.”
 
The accompanying music video brings that sense of change home to the Hunter Valley. Filmed at Tyrrell’s Wines, the clip begins among the warmth and intimacy of the winery’s wine room before moving outside into the vineyard as the sun begins to fall. Golden light, open country and the transition from indoors to sunset provide a natural visual counterpart to the song’s themes of change.
 
 
For Kylie, ‘Seasons Changing’ also represents a continuation of her return to country music after a career that has moved freely between country, pop and soul.
 
First coming to wider attention through an appearance on The Voice in 2016, Kylie went on to release her debut album Black Swan and perform the Australian National Anthem at Newcastle’s inaugural Coates Hire 500 Supercars Championship. She has since shared stages with Pete Murray, Thirsty Merc and Alex Lloyd , while her country debut ‘Missing Piece’ earned high rotation on ABC Country during Australian Music Month.
 
Now firmly establishing her next chapter as an independent country artist, Kylie has amassed more than 250,000 global streams, with previous single ‘Saloon’ passing 40,000 streams and multiple releases appearing on the AMRAP charts.
 
The move towards country feels particularly natural for an artist whose life away from music is firmly rooted in it. Kylie now lives on a 20-acre property in the Hunter Valley, where horses are as much a part of her everyday life as songwriting. A keen rider, she competes in showjumping and eventing, while also running tiny-home accommodation on the property.
 
It’s a life that increasingly mirrors the music Kylie is making – grounded, personal and unmistakably country.
 
With ‘Seasons Changing’, Kylie Jane captures the uncertainty of not knowing exactly what comes next, while holding onto the simple reassurance at the heart of the song: seasons change, difficult moments pass, and there’s always the possibility of something new around the corner.  

Following the success of her heartfelt single She’s a Bird, South Australian singer-songwriter Jo Page takes a bold turn into darker territory with Here Lays She That Hated Everyone, the final single before the release of her debut EP, Reckless & Redeemed, arriving on 4 th  September.Fuelled by thunderous drums, gritty guitars and unapologetic attitude, the country-rock anthem tells the story of a woman the world wrote off long before she stopped caring what it thought. Equal parts tongue-in-cheek and cautionary tale, the song explores what happens when heartbreak, disappointment and betrayal harden into bitterness.Rather than celebrating becoming the villain, the song asks a confronting question: How are villains created in the first place?

“We are rarely one thing or the other,” says Page.  “Within the same person can exist hope and despair, faith and doubt, forgiveness and resentment. Some days we soar. Other days we struggle beneath the weight of everything we’ve carried.”

That tension forms the beating heart of Reckless & Redeemed.Blending country, rock, soul and blues, the eight-track EP is a collection of stories about what it means to be human. Through cinematic storytelling, deeply personal testimony and unflinching examinations of grief, faith and survival, Page explores the contradictions that live within us all.From the outlaw grit of  Fire in His Eyes  and the rebellious swagger of  Here Lays She That Hated Everyone , to the nostalgic warmth of  When We Knew Nothing,  the resilience of  She’s a Bird  and the vulnerable honesty of  Keep On Keepin’ On , the record moves through every corner of the human experience.Because life rarely asks us to be one thing or another.Sometimes we are reckless.Sometimes we are redeemed.Most of the time, we are both.Standing as the shadow to  She’s a Bird’s  light,  Here Lays She That Hated Everyone  is more than a single. It is the key that unlocks the emotional landscape of Reckless & Redeemed, a record that invites listeners to sit honestly with every part of themselves, even the pieces they would rather leave in the dark.   Track listing “Reckless & Redeemed” EP

  2) Here Lays She That Hated Everyone

  An International Songwriting Competition semi-finalist, Jo Page has spent more than 16 years performing across Australia, opening for artists including Eskimo Joe, Birds of Tokyo, Daryl Braithwaite and Shannon Noll. Her recent singles  Fire in His Eyes ,  When We Knew Nothing  and  She’s a Bird  have earned support from ABC Country, Apple Music editorial playlists and radio stations nationwide, establishing her as one of Australia’s rising independent country-rock artists.Adding to an already exciting year, Page has been selected to participate in The Campfire Sessions, a songwriting initiative presented by the CMAA Academy of Country Music in partnership with the Gympie Music Muster.

Through clever, heartfelt lyrics and soaring instrumentation, the song delivers a message of resilience, reminding listeners to keep moving forward no matter what challenges stand in their way. With its uplifting energy and empowering spirit,  Rise & Fall leaves a lasting impression of hope, determination and perseverance.Written by Darren Gillis and produced by  David Jones, the single perfectly encapsulates the central themes of Gillis’ upcoming debut album—growth through adversity, strength in difficult times, and the courage to keep chasing your dreams.“I wrote “Rise & Fall” for a mental health presentation; little did I know it would become my album’s feature track — the one that brought them all together”.  Darren Gillis

Jacquie Roar is back with “Lie With You,” a sultry, contemporary country duet featuring fellow  The Voice Season 24 artist Stee.Jacquie and Stee first met competing on  The Voice, where both Roar and Stee received the coveted 4 Chair turn in the blinds. Jacquie advanced all the way to the finale, placing 4th.  Building a friendship in such an high stress experience, and continuing a real-life connection in the aftermath brings an undeniable chemistry to the record. “Lie With You” captures the tension of wanting someone you know you probably shouldn’t and the temptation to cross that line anyway.Jacquie is also a  co-writer on the song, alongside an impressive team of Nashville writers:  Grammy Award-winning songwriter Jordan Gray (Shaboozey & Jelly Roll’s “Amen”),  Jesse Slack (Owen Riegling’s “Moonshines”),  Steve Fee (Max McNown’s “A Lot More Free”),  Jason Mater, who produced the single (country, mainstream and major sync credits), and  Christian Pond, Jacquie’s guitarist and band member.The result is a  fresh, sexy, radio-ready country duet with a built-in story and two artists whose  Voice connection gives the record an authentic point of difference.“Lie With You” is about chemistry you can’t ignore… And the moment when temptation wins.

A Thank You note from Jacquie:
 
  To all of the stations spinning my songs – That’s the Spirit, Giddy Up, Other Side, PSA, Free and now Lie with You — I genuinely want to thank you. You are giving this dreamer a chance to be heard and that means a lot to me because I pour my blood sweat and tears into my music. I fund everything myself while also wearing the many hats that come with building a business in such a saturated market. Singer, Song writer, composer, social media influencer, marketing manager, travel agent, promoter, the list goes on and on but I love this industry and I love connecting with MY people, the people who get me and relate to my art. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping a gal out and letting some country/rock get heard.

I wanted the title to reflect that.”Most recently, Stumpf was named a semifinalist in SiriusXM Canada’s Top of the Country, a nationwide competition presented in partnership with the Canadian Country Music Association® (CCMA) that celebrates the country’s next generation of country artists.

Award-winning country music duo Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley today share their long-awaited third studio album ‘ Souls On Show’ featuring the new single of the same name, as they prepare to perform at the Gympie Music Muster tonight.
 
Recognised as one of Australia’s leading country music duos, Brooke and Adam deliver their most candid and cohesive collection of songs in both their careers with ‘ Souls on Show’ – and it delivers exactly what the title promises. Written by Brooke and Adam, produced with award-winning Australian record producer and engineer Scott Horscroft and multi-award winning Australian producer Andy Mac, the album was recorded live with their band at The Grove Studios, each musician given the space to improvise and flourish, and you can hear it in every moment of space and spontaneity the record breathes.
 
Their previous album ‘ Up, Down & Sideways’ announced Brooke and Adam as a genuine force, debuting at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album chart, hitting #1 on the Country Album chart, and produced multiple award-winning singles at the Golden Guitar Awards and ARIA nominations. ‘ Souls on Show’ is the next chapter; it dives deeper and celebrates harder. It’s an album born from community, connection and celebration, showcasing real emotion, honesty and performance in an era obsessed with polishing every human edge away in AI-driven plastic perfection. The songs come from a range of sources – old ideas, new inspirations, and the mind of a five-year-old – but the finished products are rooted firmly in the here and now.
 
Speaking about the album Brooke and Adam share, ”o ur album Souls On Show was written while we either took the position of casual observers, watching from the grandstand or vulnerable self evaluators standing in front of a mirror, in both we tried to make sense of and celebrate the craziness, joy and confusion of life. We recorded live with our touring band, in the studio together, no AI, no bullshit, just music.”
 
The record opens with ‘ 321 ’ a joyous mission statement inspired by Brooke and Adam’s son Elroy’s imagination, celebrating a life spent chasing songs, family and adventure together. From there, the album continues to reveal different sides of Brooke and Adam’s world. ‘ Dance Dance Dance’ is a warm-hearted reminder that love is often found in life’s simplest gestures, turning an ordinary night into an exuberant celebration of connection and commitment. ‘ Nowhere and Back Again’ captures the easy chemistry that has become Brooke and Adam’s trademark, finding romance not in grand plans or destinations, but in the comfort of simply being together. One of the most pulsating choruses of the album appears in ‘ In and Out of Love’, a song born from watching a friend fall apart. The Adam-driven ‘ Man I’ll Be Tomorrow’ is told from one father’s desire to adapt in a changing world, but it never relinquishes the sense that these are universal feelings. From the rousing and defiant single ‘ Now I’ve Said It’, born from a jam during a community festival soundcheck, to the Top 10 Australian Country Radio hit ‘ Someone Else’s Dream’, a track that takes the infectious cadence of walking through an unfamiliar city, Brooke and Adam are inviting and self-aware:  these are their songs, but everyone’s welcome to share them. The sing-along anthem ‘ Too Long Between Drinks’, which debuted at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, is utterly joyous and jubilant. By the time closer ‘ Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah’ finishes its cathartic sing-a-longs with the band jamming and Brooke’s vocals soaring, it’s impossible not to be optimistic and upbeat.
 
One of the album’s most poignant moments arrives with ‘ Beautiful American Morning’, written in response to the devastating reality of school shootings, it contrasts the optimism and promise of an ordinary day with the unimaginable heartbreak that can follow in an instant. It’s a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and stands among the most affecting songs Brooke and Adam have ever recorded.
 
The new single and title track, is the thematic centerpiece of the album, the philosophical heart. Built around the idea that every life is a canvas painted by our choices, words and actions, the song challenges listeners to consider what they reveal to the world and what legacy they leave behind. Its message of authenticity, compassion and human connection resonates throughout the entire record, giving the album both its title and its purpose.
 
Renowned for their high-energy live shows Brooke and Adam are hitting the road on a massive 33-date ‘ Souls On Show’ Australian East-Coast Tour kicking off in November. Packed with brand new music alongside fan favourites audiences know and love, the tour promises plenty of laughs, incredible music and the undeniable chemistry that has made them one of Australia’s most beloved duos. Before then, Brooke and Adam will be performing at the Gympie Music Muster Festival tonight and over the weekend before heading to Savannah In The Round and Coffs Harbour Country Music Festival in October .
