KEVIN POWERS feat. SHABOOZEY DROP “MOVE ON”Shaboozey’s American Dogwood Imprint Debuts With A New Collab.
Today, 5X GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter Shaboozey returns with his latest single, “ Move On ,” a collaboration with Kevin Powers. Earlier this month, Shaboozey announced he’d continue his wild year of award nods, critical accolades, and record-breaking hits by starting his own record imprint, American Dogwood, in partnership with his label home EMPIRE. The duo initially previewed the track upon the announcement of Powers as American Dogwood’s first signee, serving as the perfect introduction to everything the label is about — an extension of Shaboozey’s own genre-blurring, trail-blazing style. Accompanied by a video featuring Shaboozey and Powers riding a beat-up RV through the countryside, “Move On” is a post-breakup anthem addressed to an ex who’s gone on to a different chapter of life. Dubbed “Southern Pop,” Powers’ style is a natural match for Shaboozey’s, making for an earworm track primed for mainstream success. Following the runaway success of Shaboozey’s breakthrough project, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and the newly RIAA-Diamond certified mega-hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” 2025 has seen Shaboozey making good on his breakthrough at every turn. Before introducing American Dogwood, Shaboozey also released the expanded edition of Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, including new songs featuring Jelly Roll on “ Amen,” Myles Smith on “ Blink Twice” & Sierra Ferrell on “ Hail Mary,” and most prominently, his single “Good News,” which just became his second single to top Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart. He has also released a slew of singles throughout the last month, including the official opening track of Prime Sport’s Thursday Night Football entitled “Let ‘Em Know” and his Stephen Wilson Jr. collaboration “Took a Walk,” written for the end titles of Lionsgate’s motion picture The Long Walk. The momentum kept rolling with his The Great American Roadshow Tour , which saw Shaboozey make a grand return to the stage for his first solo US tour dates of 2025, as well as his first-ever Australian Tour, joining Jelly Roll as a special guest on “The Down Under 2025 Tour” as well as appearing at the inaugural Strummingbird Festivals and Sunburnt Country Festival.ABOUT AMERICAN DOGWOOD

5X GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter Shaboozey is building his own world, carving his lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-hop and R&B, country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with two standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER—the only artist with multiple appearances on the album. His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed masterpiece Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by The New York Times for “bring[ing] hip-hop grit to country” and by Rolling Stone for “honoring country tradition and moving it forward.” The album’s breakthrough anthem, the RIAA-Diamond certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” holds the record for the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 while also topping Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay Chart, and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. The single has accumulated over a billion streams across DSPs and made history, making Shaboozey the first Black male artist to simultaneously top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Hot 100. In conjunction with the release, Shaboozey received major critical recognition and a wide array of nominations at the GRAMMY Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards, along with wins at the Billboard Music Awards and People’s Choice Country Awards. Continuing to raise the bar with each release, his follow-up single “Good News” earned Shaboozey his second #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart. Staying true to his Virginian roots, Shaboozey strives to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of prolific creativity, this time by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing modern Americana to a global audience. His debut headline Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going tour sold out in every market and he played arenas nationwide as part of Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken tour. His 2025 The Great American Roadshow Tour will kickoff this fall.ABOUT KEVIN POWERS
