Country singer\/songwriter FILMORE is a boundary-pushing Missouri native who blends Country, Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, and Latin influences into a bold, hook-driven sound. Now signed to Pitbull\u2019s Mr. 305 Records after making history as the first independent artist on Spotify\u2019s Hot Country cover, he channels that genre-defying vision on his fourth studio album Atypical, a 21-track project that captures both his high-octane energy and unfiltered honesty.\u000f\u000fAtypical takes its name from a fan-favorite lyric\u2014\u201cAnything but typical\u201d\u2014from his 2016 debut project Proof, a line that became a personal motto for FILMORE and a rallying cry for fans who even tattooed the words on their wrists. He views the album as the culmination of everything he has learned so far, a moment where he stops chasing outside validation and fully leans into his authentic instincts.\u000f\u000fThe project marks his first full-length release with Mr. 305 Records, a partnership that grew after Pitbull\u2019s team witnessed his explosive performance at the 2023 Barefoot Country Music Fest. Their relationship, which began with FILMORE\u2019s 2022 single \u201cUSA\u201d featuring Pitbull, has sharpened his versatility as a writer and performer while deepening his connection to his Colombian heritage and bilingual upbringing.\u000f\u000fRaised by a Country-loving \u201credneck\u201d dad and a salsa-dancing Colombian mother, FILMORE grew up with a wildly diverse musical palette, and Atypical taps that background in a way that finally feels natural and fully realized. He returned to a DIY mindset by building much of the album in the home studio of longtime collaborator John-Luke Carter, co-producing 16 tracks and writing every song alongside hitmakers like Trannie Anderson and Lindsay Rimes.\u000f\u000fThe album opens with \u201cBlame a Country Song,\u201d a pounding, steel-laced anthem that celebrates Country music as the soundtrack to carefree, wild nights and sets the tone for Atypical\u2019s shapeshifting sound. One of the most exuberant moments comes with \u201cYeehaw,\u201d a steamy party track that fuses Miami swagger with Nashville twang and features Pitbull adding his verse in quintessential larger-than-life fashion.\u000f\u000fBeyond the party anthems, FILMORE leans into his introspective side on songs like \u201cLove at First Fight,\u201d which chronicles a toxic relationship he stayed in too long, and \u201cDark Side of Drinking,\u201d a moody reflection on how heartbreak can haunt familiar bars and routines. Elsewhere, he stretches stylistically from the synth-washed \u201cReality\u201d to the horn-heavy Latin-Pop of \u201cSouth On Me,\u201d alongside acoustic and Country-Pop cuts like \u201cPicture Perfect\u201d and \u201cBreakup Tattoos.\u201d\u000f\u000fGrowing up in Wildwood, Missouri, FILMORE discovered his voice in choir, studied vocal performance on scholarship at the University of Missouri, and later moved to Nashville, where he briefly lived in his car and in a shared house that doubled as a studio. His grind led to a publishing deal, opening slots for stars like Sam Hunt, a breakout with \u201cHeadlights,\u201d and his 2020 full-length State I\u2019m In, followed by 2023\u2019s Mean Something.\u000f\u000fAfter stepping back to start a family, FILMORE returned with a sharpened vision, intent on being unapologetically himself and embracing every sound that shaped him. For anyone wanting to understand who he truly is as an artist, Atypical serves as his clearest, most comprehensive statement yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
