LEGENDARY COUNTRY ARTIST, WARREN H WILLIAMS, RELEASES NEW SINGLE FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM.

NTARIA FEATURES KASEY CHAMBERS AND SHANE NICHOLSON

A legend of Australian Country Music and an Indigenous icon, Warren H Williams has created a new album in his native tongue, Western Arrarnta language. The new album is called Undar Wurmar (“Are you Listening”) and represents his 11th career album; due for release later this year. An Australian Country Music Hall of Famer and multi award winning singer songwriter, Williams has embarked on a unique album project designed to both preserve and promote indigenous language and to also gain cultural understanding and unity amongst all Australians. This will be his first full studio album in language.

The first single, Ntaria, is out now and features country music legend, Kasey Chambers, and equally prolific country artist, Shane Nicholson. Ntaria (Hermannsburg), is an Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory of Australia, west southwest of Alice Springs, on the Finke River, in the traditional lands of the Western Arrarnta people. This is where Warren H Willams was born and has lived at various stages in his life. It was also a place where Shane Nicholson sought space and penned his own song about the town. Joining Warren and Shane on this song, Kasey Chambers had spoken to Warren about doing an album in language for years.

Undar Wurmar is, without a doubt, the most important album in Warren H Williams’ career as it represents a pinnacle in a lifetime journey in music, art and culture. By the creation of this album,and standing on the platform of his 10 previous successful albums,Warren H Williams attempts to create enduring Australian and cultural legacy by revealing his true heart, culture and beginnings through language. By sharing so deeply on this record, it is Warren’s dream to completely normalise indigenous language in the mainstream and to fulfill a burning desire to continue to bridge any cultural gaps in a positive way through his music.

Wattmore’s Romantic Side: The Song Your Ears Didn’t Know They Were Missing

Brisbane, Australia – Wednesday 23rd July, 2025

We need to talk.

Not about your ex, not about politics, not about the fact that your lunch just got stolen from the office fridge (again). No – this is more important.

There is a song roaming the airwaves right now called Romantic Side by Wattmore, and if you haven’t played it yet… we regret to inform you: your listeners are being robbed.

This song is what happens when a heartfelt, nostalgic country anthem sneaks into a dive bar, has a drink with alt-Americana, and they decide to run off together and make something beautiful. It’s catchy. It’s authentic. It sticks to your brain like glitter to a dance floor.

This isn’t just another single – it’s a story listeners already relate to.

Fans have called it:

“The soundtrack to my best and worst decisions.”

“A song I didn’t know I needed until it ruined me in the best way.” “Like whiskey with a love note stuck to the bottle.”

And here’s the kicker:

This is already charting. Fans are already requesting it. And somewhere out there is a listener wondering why their favourite station hasn’t caught up yet.

We don’t want that to be you.

So go on – do the right thing. Spin Romantic Side. Make someone’s commute/laundry day/personal breakup montage feel like a movie scene.

Thanks for keeping good music alive.

You’re a hero already – this just seals the deal.

About Wattmore:

Wattmore are two Brisbane brothers who turn heartbreak and humour into sharp, unforgettable songs – equal parts charm, grit, and dry wit. Known for their rich harmonies, fiery guitar work, and multi-instrumental skills, they craft music that makes your ex nervous, your boots move, and your eyebrows raise (sometimes all at once).

Award Winning Country Artist Cali Tucker’s single Last Name drops July 18, 2025

Cali Tucker, the award-winning country artist with a lineage steeped in Nashville tradition is back with her new single, Last Name. The single drops on all digital platforms and radio stations worldwide on July 18th. Last Name is more than just a song-it marks a bold chapter in Tucker’s artistic journey. Building on the momentum of her acclaimed singles and music videos Country Couture and Urban Cowboy, Last Name isn’t about carrying the weight of a famous family name, it’s about something deeper. Co-written by Cali Tucker alongside Derek Robertson, Tricia Battani, and Grammy-nominated G’harah “PK” Degeddingseze, this track explores the raw vulnerability of forging your own path without the safety net of family support. It’s a story of chasing dreams with relentless determination, learning to advocate for yourself in the face of loneliness, and achieving success on your own terms.

Cali shares, “I want people to know – whoever you want to be, whatever you want to do, it’s within your reach.”

Though Cali is grateful for her circle of family and friends, she is deeply aware that not everyone has that same privilege. Through Last Name, her powerful, soul-stirring vocals deliver this message with authenticity and heart – making it a true anthem for everyone fighting to be seen, heard, and valued.

As the daughter of 1970s hitmaker LaCosta Tucker and niece of the legendary Tanya Tucker, Cali embraces her family’s musical legacy while infusing it with a modern twist that resonates with today’s audience. From winning the Miss Teen All-American title to gracing the Grand Ole Opry stage and headlining top Las Vegas venues, she has steadily built a career defined by artistry and resilience. Her time as a finalist on NBC’s The Voice-mentored by Blake Shelton-launched her into the national spotlight, setting the stage for her continued success.

Over the past year, Cali’s original music has amassed millions of streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube while receiving airplay worldwide. People Magazine praised her as “a blend of sweet and sassy… addictive.” She performed the National Anthem for NASCAR’s Pennzoil 400 before a crowd of 80,000 racing fans and a televised audience of over three million. Meanwhile, her music videos- Country Couture and Urban Cowboy-have swept film festivals, earning multiple Best Music Video and Best Song awards. On June 28th, she makes her debut at Aliante Casino’s Access Showroom in Las Vegas and on July 19th, she’ll take the stage alongside her iconic aunt for a special double-billed performance at Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon.

With Last Name, Cali Tucker continues to prove that her name is one people will be talking about for years to come.

MAX MCNOWN RELEASES STIRRING NEW SINGLE “FOREVER AIN’T LONG ENOUGH” AHEAD OF DELUXE DROP OF ACCLAIMED ALBUM ‘NIGHT DIVING (THE COST OF GROWING UP)’

Rising singer-songwriter Max McNown continues to carve a path uniquely his own with the release of his latest single, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough”, out now via Fugitive Recordings/The Orchard/Columbia Records. The track is the lead offering from the upcoming deluxe edition of his celebrated sophomore album, ‘Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)’, out today.

A heartfelt and cinematic love song, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” channels McNown’s signature blend of introspective lyricism and anthemic storytelling. Produced by Jamie Kenney (Colbie Caillat, Laci Kaye Booth), the single paints a picture of eternal love lived out in snapshots across the American landscape – from Catalina coastlines and Santa Fe backroads to the rain-kissed streets of Colorado and the stars above Patagonia.

“I could say forever, but forever ain’t long enough,” McNown sings in the soaring chorus, capturing the spirit of young love and limitless devotion. Reflecting on the song’s inspiration, he explains, “Some romances make you wish you could spend more than a fleeting lifetime within them, and that is the basis for ‘Forever Ain’t Long Enough.'”

The single arrives as McNown’s breakout year reaches new heights. At just 23, the Oregon-born artist has already earned an RIAA Gold certification, a Billboard Hot 100 entry, and a Top 10 Hot AC hit with his breakthrough track “A Lot More Free”. His heartfelt anthem “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)” has surpassed 130 million streams, reached #2 on Australia’s CountrytownTop 50 Country Airplay Chart, and continues to surge at Country radio-propelling him even further into the national and international spotlight.

Following a meteoric rise from busking on Southern California piers to topping Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, McNown’s journey remains rooted in authenticity. His soulful voice and deeply personal storytelling continue to resonate with fans, including his 2.4 million TikTok followers.

The release of “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” also ushers in the next chapter of McNown’s whirlwind year.

In May, Max completed his first-ever Australian tour with sold-out shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, winning over new international fans with his heartfelt performances. Just weeks later, he took the stage at Countryfest Queensland cementing his global appeal with a standout set that lit up the festival crowd.

Back in the U.S., Max continues to build momentum with standout performances at The Grand Ole Opry and the upcoming Lollapalooza Festival, ahead of his highly anticipated “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” North American headline tour, launching August 21 in Kansas City.. The tour will be making stops in Austin at Emo’s on August 27th, Los Angeles at The Novo on September 6th, and at 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on September 8th – see full dates below and visit maxmcnown.com/tour for tickets and more information

Reflecting on the upcoming deluxe album, McNown shared; “Even though Night Diving was the length of a full album, in my heart it never felt complete to me. These songs were all born from the same time in my life-they belong together.”

The deluxe edition of ‘Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)’ introduces 11 new tracks, including a moving reinterpretation of the title song – a poignant reflection on the cycles of addiction. This new version features a stirring guest verse from rising country-folk artist Cameron Whitcomb and marks a powerful milestone in the journey of a prolific young songwriter deeply rooted in his craft.

Even as his star continues to rise, McNown remains grounded in his small-town spirit – led by humility, heart, and an unwavering commitment to authentic storytelling. With every song, he furthers his mission to create music that helps listeners feel seen, heard, and understood.

As accolades pour in-including recognition as a 2025 Artist to Watch by Amazon Music, Holler, and Country Now-Max McNown remains grounded in the simple joys that fuel his artistry: community, connection, and the enduring power of honest songwriting.

“A young artist who is taking the country music industry by storm”

AL ROKER / TODAY

“…a newcomer worth watching.”

Billboard

“And while it may be easy to put McNown into some sort of box where TikTok artists go viral and then go fade away, there is a good chance that this one is different.”

People Magazine

“[one of the] brightest newly minted stars to come out of Nashville in recent years”

GRAMMY.com

‘Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)’, is available for pre-order on: signed D2C Exclusive Clear Black Ice Colored Vinyl, Amazon Exclusive Opaque Maroon Colored Vinyl, Indie Exclusive Opaque Bone Colored Vinyl, Opaque Tangerine Colored Vinyl, and Standard CD.

THE REKLAWS DELIVER FEEL-GOOD SUMMER ANTHEM “NEVER DRINKING AGAIN”

Raise a solo cup to the anthem heard across the country every weekend – multi-double-PLATINUM sibling duo The Reklaws are back to toast the summer with their latest single, “Never Drinking Again”, a tongue-in-cheek, high-energy track that captures the all-too-familiar post-party promise we’ve all made… and broken.”

Launching an exciting new era for the chart-topping pair, “Never Drinking Again” sees The Reklaws leaning back into the infectious, light-hearted spirit that first rocketed them to national fame.

“Started with one / Turned to two / Three sheets to the wind…” – the track explodes with relatability, blending singalong hooks and clever lyrical turns that nod to the universal truth of late nights and empty promises.

“It’s been a wild few years of writing and putting out music that we needed to share, so we weren’t entirely sure what was going to come out of us as we sat in writing rooms over the past few months – but the fun songs just started pouring out,” shared Stuart Walker. “We’re so excited to finally share new tunes and dedicate a summer to having more fun than ever before”.

After spending the past few months deep in writing mode, The Reklaws are emerging with music that feels true to the songs that made them a household name across the nation. With plans for their biggest live show yet and more new music on the horizon, The Reklaws are turning up the volume – literally and figuratively – and making it clear they’re heading straight back to their weekend-loving, glass-raising roots.

ABOUT THE REKLAWS:

The Reklaws are a one-of-a-kind duo made up of siblings Jenna and Stuart Walker and are one of Canadian country’s most decorated and beloved acts. From their breakout hit “Long Live the Night”, which became the CFL’s official theme in 2018/19, to their viral smash “What the Truck” with SACHA (the fastest Canadian country single to go PLATINUM in the streaming era), the duo have consistently pushed boundaries.

Their music resonates well beyond Canada’s borders – with “Honky Talkin’ About” (feat. Drake Milligan) not only hitting #1 at Canadian radio, but also breaking into Australia’s Countrytown Top 50 Country Airplay Chart at #10. Their single “One Beer Away” also made waves, reaching #20 on the same chart, signalling a growing fanbase down under.

In 2023, The Reklaws earned three JUNO nominations (TikTok Fan’s Choice, Group or Duo of the Year, and Country Album of the Year), hosted the CCMA Awards, and won Top Selling Canadian Album for their 2022 release Good Ol’ Days.

With 8 JUNO nominations, 8 CCMA Awards, 4 #1 hits, 2 DOUBLE PLATINUM, 8 PLATINUM, and 13 GOLD singles – plus 300M+ global streams and five of the top 20 streamed singles by a Canadian country act since 2019 – The Reklaws continue to redefine what it means to be modern country stars. Their debut album Freshman Year remains the most domestically streamed debut album in Canadian country history.

AUSTRALIA’S MOST SUCCESSFUL COUNTRY DUO ANNOUNCE THEIR NEW ALBUM, ‘AUSTRALIAN MADE’, COMING AUGUST 29. THEIR NEW SINGLE WITH ZAC & GEORGE RELEASED TODAY

With 10 x Golden Guitars under their belt and a further 2 x Countrytown Awards, The Wolfe Brothers, announce their 7th studio album, Australian Made. Produced by Nick Wolfe and Rod McCormack, the album features collaborations with Kaylee Bell, Lee Kernaghan and the new single released with Zac & George.

Thematically, Tom talks about the album, “If you know anything about Nick and I, you will know that we are very proud to be Australian. There was a time a few years back where Nick and I were going to move over to America. We had everything lined up including a major US recording deal – we were all set and ready to call another country home. The only problem was that’s not our home. This is our home, our friends are here, our family is here and the stories we want to celebrate are about Australia in all its diversity.

It’s the right time for Australian Made. There is currently a huge country music boom happening here in Australia and worldwide, which we think is absolutely fantastic. We wanna raise our hands up and be that Australian voice for the next generation and do it in our way. The best things in life are Australian Made.”

To coincide with the announce of the album, The Wolfe Brothers drop their new single with Zac & George, How Many One More Times. As Nick describes the new single, “We’re really proud to be releasing our new single, “How Many One More Times,” because it comes from a place that feels real, honest, and close to the heart. We’ve all been guilty of saying, ‘Yeah, I’ll catch up with them next time’ or ‘I’ll make that call tomorrow’. But life has a way of reminding you that nothing’s guaranteed. This song is our little reminder to ourselves – and hopefully to everyone who hears it – to make today count. To call that friend. To have that drink. To say what you need to say. The truth is, you never really

know when those “one more times” are going to run out. And that’s what this song is about – appreciating the moment you’re in right now, because it could be the last time you get to.”

From Zac & George, “If you told 20-year-old Zac & George they would be in a writing room in the next 5 years with the Wolfe Brothers, they would have asked you to repeat the statement. Then they would have said to themselves ‘we’re gonna write a banger with the Wolfies’. Walking into the writing room, we were all thinking the same thing – an upbeat, country radio bop. However, the mood took a slight turn and headed into a very vulnerable place. We quickly began talking about life, taking chances in our careers, and spending time with loved ones. The phrase “how many one more times” was said and from there the song pretty much wrote itself. We are so pumped to be putting out a song with our idols, and now also good mates, this July. Who knows, we may just have to do this another “one more time”

Announced as Ambassadors for the Gympie Muster 2025, The Wolfe Brothers will launch their album at the festival.

‘Six String Shooter’, Cody Walker’s second single to be released in as many months.
Cody follows up his debut single with an equally deep dive into the themes of life’s darker corners, mental health, pain, purpose and the story telling of the calm in the chaos.

An instrument that now looking back was wielded as a defensive weapon, ‘Six String Shooter’ speaks for itself, again blending a powerful, gritty voice, with soul soaked lyrics and distorted guitars, it challenges the idealism of what we are to do, when the devil on the left and the angel on the right, argue over that crossroads we are standing at.
