Fresh off of his first headlining tour, rising star Bailey Zimmerman is gearing up to release his latest single, “New To Country,” on Friday, June 28th. With a production style reminiscent of 2014 hits by Brantley Gilbert and Jason Aldean, Zimmerman’s track promises to blend the gritty edge of rock with the heartfelt storytelling of country, creating a sound that is both refreshing and real to his upbringing.
The song’s lyrics, which celebrate staying true to one’s roots and the unchanging essence of being country boy, are a bit of a topical departure for Bailey Zimmerman, who spent much of his last LP in a melancholy frame of mind. Though his last single “Holy Smokes” signaled a continuation of RELIGIOUSLY: THE ALBUM’s mid-tempo production and nostalgic musings, “New To Country” is definitely a fresh change of pace for the young star. The loud, bro-country hook definitely suits his southern drawl, and the single promises to play well in a live environment.

As of yet, there’s no info about when Zimmerman will release his next full-length LP, but with two singles out in the world, it feels like a pretty safe bet that an announcement could be on the way shortly. In the meantime, Bailey is currently touring the country alongside Morgan Wallen on the “One Thing At a Time” tour, as well as on a few select festival dates. Tickets are available on his website.
“New To Country” will be available everywhere this Friday, June 28th.
