Month: March 2025

American-based Australian country music star Shea Fisher has announced the release of her first single in five years, “TAKE ME BACK TO TEXAS” (out March 3), a beautifully heartfelt song that reflects her love of the western lifestyle and speaks to her authentic self.

Shea achieved six #1 Country singles in Australia while signed to ABC Music as well as a Top 20 CMT video in the US for Don’t Chase Me. During the last five years she has led an incredibly busy and productive life, raising her three children with husband, world champion rodeo cowboy Tyson Durfey, and launching two highly successful entrepreneurial ventures: Shea Michelle Buckles and Shea Baby children’s western clothing (now in more 800 major stores across the US). In that time, she also established an online fitness and health program called Fit With Shea which has over 1000 subscribers and growing.

Music has always been in Shea’s heart, however, and with Tyson now retired from the US rodeo circuit and her children a little older, the time is right for this country hitmaker to make her mark on the music industry once again. As Shea has gradually built a more musical focus on her social media platforms, her following has grown from 30,000 to more than 300,000, and plans are now in place to release three new singles with accompanying music videos in 2025.

Co-written with Karyn Rochelle, Garth Brooks’ longtime harmony singer, and five-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Jessie Jo Dillon (Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Keith Urban and many more),”TAKE ME BACK TO TEXAS” is the first grand taste of Shea Fisher’s musical comeback, as she continues to dream big as an independent artist and conquer new horizons. Now in her mid-30s Shea hopes her comeback will inspire other women to realise that age and motherhood are not barriers to success.

“A year ago, I might’ve thought it was crazy to go on this whirlwind ride again,” Shea says. “But I now see that if you have a passion, it doesn’t matter how old you are – you just have to make it happen.”

“TAKE ME BACK TO TEXAS” is available now on all streaming and download platforms.

Country music’s rising star Juliet Oliver makes her return with latest single, “Red Roses”, and it’s not your average heartbreak song! Blending sharp wit with a dose of unapologetic attitude, Juliet serves up a catchy anthem about calling out lies and moving on with style.

Lines like “You really think I wouldn’t figure you out?” and “Who’s laughing now?” cut straight to the point, putting the spotlight on deception while showing there’s no room for fools here.

“This song is for anyone who’s ever caught someone in the act and thought, ‘Really? You thought you’d get away with that?'” Juliet says with a laugh. “It’s about seeing the truth and deciding you’re better off without the drama.”

Her previous single, “Sociopath”, made its mark on multiple Spotify Editorial playlists, proving that Juliet knows how to keep listeners hooked.

“You can’t deny there ain’t nothing like love”

Rising Country artist Chloe Swannell is back with a bang, gearing up to release her latest single, ‘Loves’ a Lil’ Bit,’ on March 7th. This upbeat and punchy track is all about embracing the messy, beautiful, and unpredictable nature of love. According to Chloe, “‘Loves’ a Lil’ Bit’ is about how love blends excitement, pain, and simple moments into something truly unforgettable.”

Following the success of her previous singles ‘Strange Love’ (2023), ‘Unchained’ (2024), and her debut EP ‘Livin’ In The Country’ (2024), Chloe is poised for even greater success. ‘Livin’ In The Country’ achieved great support with its title track reaching #11 on the iTunes Country Charts and #12 on the PlayMPE Download Charts. It also earned spots on Apple Music playlists, such as “Aussie Country” and “Country Caffeine” and the music video was shown on CMT Australia.

Once again collaborating with producer Tarquin Halls-Corbett, Chloe brings fans a country pop anthem that highlights her evolving sound. ‘Loves’ a Lil’ Bit’ takes her genre-blending style to new heights, combining her passion for country with an energetic, rock-infused edge.

Beyond her own musical journey, Chloe is committed to supporting other emerging artists. As the founder of a prominent music studio in the Central West in NSW, she plays a huge role in fostering talent within the music community. She is also no stranger to the stage, having shared it with notable artists such as Beccy Cole, Amber Lawrence, and Hayley Jensen. In January, Chloe returned to Tamworth Country Music Festival, performing on the Fanzone and Riverside Stages.

Chloe elaborates on the inspiration behind ‘Loves’ a Lil’ Bit’ saying, “Love is everywhere-it’s not just in our hearts for others, but in everything we do and everything that drives us. When Tarquin and I started writing ‘Loves’ a Lil’ Bit’, we talked about all the things that love is. For me, it wasn’t just about a new or old love with a person, but about a pair of new boots, hanging around the fire with friends, your favourite drink, or your football team.”

She continues, “This track is a celebration of love, whether it’s romance, your favourite boots, your football team, or a whiskey on ice. Whatever love means to you, jump right in and take a swing!”

Chloe Swannell’s ‘Loves’ a Lil’ Bit’ is sure to resonate with fans who enjoy powerful country pop anthems with an edge.
