With Texas moonlight and dusty dancefloors setting the scene, Lucie Tiger turns temptation into a country two-step you won’t forget.“I wanted this song to feel like that electric moment when you lock eyes with someone across a crowded bar and think, ‘Well… this could get interesting.’ It’s flirtation, sassy confidence, and a little trouble wrapped up in one night”, says Lucie Tiger.“So many country songs are about cowboys riding off into the sunset. I thought, what if the girl gets to choose the adventure this time? That’s where  Cowboy Love Me came from—she’s bold, she’s fun, and she knows exactly what she wants.”“ Cowboy Love Me started as one of my co-writers, Maddye Trew, and I joking about how we still hadn’t found ‘our cowboy’—and then realizing we’d written a whole song about the fantasy of one walking right into our arms in a honkytonk.”Based in Muscle Shoals AL since 2023, Lucie Tiger has been making her mark in the heartland of American music. “Lucie Tiger is showing the world what independent country artists can achieve on their own terms” (CountryTown).

Must Be Listening” pulls together 2 of Canada’s most respected female Country artists, Genevieve Fisher and Madeline Merlo. Originally the song was pitched to Genevieve by her long time writing partner and friend, Nashville songwriter Jennifer Schott. The song was co-written by Jennifer and Madeline Merlo. Although Genevieve did not have a writing credit on the song, it was a perfect fit for her. Everything about it was just right. Immediately Genevieve and her team agreed this should be her next radio single. Genevieve often does her own harmonies and background vocals but we felt it would be fittng if Madeline Merlo herself would be willing to join Genevieve and take on that role. Madeline graciously agreed without hesitation. This song offers the smooth lead vocals from Genevieve and the writing perfection and harmonies from Madeline. This song was produced by Genevieve’s long time Nashville producer Jason Massey. Genevieve performed the vocals in her home studio while Madeline joined Jason in Nashville to complete the harmonies. Ultimately, the final result is a seamless recording that needs to be heard. Industry ears that have already heard this indicate that this is one of Genevieve’s best singles to date. We hope you agree.
“I’m so excited to share my new single, “Must Be Listening”—a song that feels like a true comeback for me. I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy wonderful success within the Canadian country music industry. I decided to temporarily step away to raise my two little boys for the last 4 years, but I’m now back and ready to take my place alongside your favourite names in Canadian country. When my friend Jenn Schott pitched me some songs a few months ago, this one immediately stood out—I kept coming back to it over and over. With Jason Massey producing and helping bring my vision to life, and Madeline Merlo adding her beautiful unmistakable voice to the background vocals, this track became something really special. I love it so much, and I hope listeners across Canada feel the same and hear my heart and potential in every line.”

There’s an ache that lingers beneath the surface of Chloe Styler’s infectious smile and glossy pop exterior, and she lets it surface on her new single,  ‘Placeholder’, out Friday, November 14. Known for her bright, buoyant energy and heartfelt storytelling, the Gold Coast songwriter turns inward, unravelling a shattering recollection of being a stand-in.  With her shimmering pop anthems and growing national acclaim, Chloe Styler continues to evolve. Her previous single ‘Push & Pull’ marked the beginning of a new chapter, arriving alongside her BIGSOUND 2025 appearance and adding to an already impressive list of milestones. Each release shows Chloe stepping further into her own light, blending impassioned songwriting with a glowing pop sensibility that feels both personal and universal.  Bruised and achingly human, ‘Placeholder’ has a diary-like intimacy polished with pop precision. A warm acoustic guitar opens the track, steady and unguarded, as Chloe’s tender vocals trace the first cracks of heartbreak. The resilient chorus finds Chloe standing firm within the ache, as layers of gliding electric guitar, soft synths and mandolin breathe new colour into the sadness. When the drums arrive, they drive the pain home, pulling everything together into something defiant and unbreakable.   ‘Placeholder’ sits in the aftermath of false promises and realising that affection was about convenience, capturing the hurt of being kept close, led on, but never chosen. Chloe writes from that raw middle ground where clarity stings as much as confusion, yet it’s through this honesty that she finds her strength. What begins as self-doubt becomes self-realisation, marking the moment someone stops waiting to be wanted and starts reclaiming their worth. Speaking candidly about the track, Chloe shares:“This song stirs up some messy, emotional feelings and still leaves an ache in my chest when I listen to it. But it’s honest, it’s raw, and it lives in that uncomfortable space between wanting to be loved and knowing you’re just being kept around as an option in someone’s life. There’s no real resolution. It just sits in the sadness of that truth. It’s the heartbreak that comes when you finally see things for what they are, and you have to find your own closure because they’ll never actually give it to you. Here’s to never being the placeholder again though. That sucked.”For ‘Placeholder’, Chloe Styler trades her glittering pop glow for something more fragile and cinematic. In doing so, she shares a deeply personal story that gives voice to those who have been taken for granted, who have given more than was ever returned, and who find strength in the realisation that love should never be one-sided.

“I was thinking a lot about life, about getting older, and the concept of being present.”
As the former principal songwriter and co-producer of Darlinghurst, Jason Resch was instrumental in crafting the group’s distinctive sound – earning a #1 ARIA Country Album and a Golden Guitar Award. In August 2025, he stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist with the release of his debut single ‘Talk Of The Town’.Jason began his songwriting career at 18 with UK hitmakers Xenomania, co-writing chart-topping singles for Girls Aloud , Alesha Dixon, and The Saturdays. More recently, he has collaborated with local artists including co-writing ‘Hometown Love’ by Taylor Sheridan and producing the debut single ‘Up Jump The River’ by James C. Atkins. His songwriting approach blends spontaneity with discipline: “When that balance is just right, that’s when the ideas I get excited about start appearing.” Jason states.Jason’s new song, ‘Tomorrow In My Arms’, emerged after a week of persistence in the studio-turning up each day, even when inspiration or confidence was hard to find. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the song arrived, a reminder that creativity rewards those who keep showing up.Jason explains the story behind ‘Tomorrow In My Arms’; “At the time I wrote ‘Tomorrow In My Arms’ I was thinking a lot about life, about getting older, and the concept of being present. I was listening to a lot of Gordon Lightfoot, reading different books, and just observing everyday things that we do. Although I don’t usually tend to sit down and make a conscious intention to write a song about a particular concept, that’s what was kind of going on in the background at that time and the ideas then start naturally manifesting itself, and I start paying attention”.
