Multi-Platinum Recording Artist Jake Owen Releases 4 New Songs Ahead of Upcoming Album, Loose Cannon-Set for June 23rd

Kyla Pearson

Jake Owen is bringing the summer heat with his upcoming album, Loose Cannon. Featuring 16 neo-traditional country tracks written by several of Nashville’s heavy-hitting songwriters & artist-songwriters alike, the much-anticipated project will demonstrate Jake’s growth as an artist. As he shares in a press release,

“I can’t wait to share this new wave of music with my fans,” shares Owen. “This album is a long time coming and feels like the best version of me. Grab your buddies, put the boat in the water, pour a cold one out, and we’ll catch y’all out on the lake. It’s the best time of year and we’re ready to celebrate.” (Jake Owen, PR Team)

Ahead of its June 23rd release, the multi-platinum recording artist has released 4 singles off the album: “Hot Truck Beer”, “Nothing”, “Solo Solo” and “On The Boat Again.” Keep reading for a closer look at each of these songs.

Hot Truck Beer

Hot Truck Beer is a song that reflects on past choices made in one’s youth and how one has grown since. As Jake sings, “ I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t think like I did back then // Seventeen somewhere in between who I was and who I am”. Furthermore, it’s not sung from a place of regret—instead, he reminisces fondly on a chapter closed and lessons learned. After all, teenhood is a time when people are learning about themselves and becoming who they are, in a world that’s full of opinions in regard to who you should be.

Solo Solo

Solo Solo is a drink-to-get-over-losing-the-one song. The song also features a lyrical play on the house party staple: a red Solo cup. As he sings, “Sippin on a Solo solo // feelin’ pretty high, but I’m down low“, acknowledging the protagonist’s newfound single status as he throws one back. Beyond the lyrics, there’s no sadness to be found in this upbeat breakup track. Making this the perfect song to crank up if you need to get over someone this season.

Nothing

Nothing opens with the instantly recognizable whistle from The Andy Griffith Show theme song, otherwise known as “The Fishing Hole” by Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer. A choice that older listeners will appreciate, as they recall the heartwarming hit show of the ‘60s (currently feeling nostalgic). In addition, the sample sets the stage for a day of fishing at the lake and unwinding which is sung about in the rest of the song. In a way, it’s also an ode to the simple life that’ll make you want to kick back, relax and enjoy the present moment. It’s easily an instant favourite.

On The Boat Again

On The Boat Again is a clever re-invention of the classic Willie Nelson hit, “On The Road Again”. Instead of hitting the road, listeners will be riding the waves this summer with this fresh track. It all comes together in the chorus, ” On the boat again, // Just can’t wait to get on the boat again // The life I love is drinking cold beer with my friends // Yeah, I can’t wait to get on the boat again”. It’s hard not to sing along!

Overall, all four tracks are fun, party songs and evoke feel-good vibes–all of which you’ve come to expect and love from Jake Owen’s music. Fans can also catch Jake playing these songs at this year’s Cavendish Beach Music Festival when he takes the stage on Friday, July 7th.

INTERVIEW: Hunter Jordan Discusses His Single, “You Wears Off” and Reflects on the First Year of His Solo Project

Within the first year of his solo project, contemporary country artist Hunter Jordan has already proven to be a name to watch.

Nashville-based contemporary country artist Hunter Jordan has been on a steady rise since he debuted his solo project in February of last year. While starting over from scratch can be a gamble, his debut solo release, “Dark,” proved it can pay off. Within the first weekend, the track was featured on UPstar Music’s “New Music Friday” playlist and gained over 40K+ digital streams on Spotify (with over 343.6K+ digital streams on Spotify at the time of writing). His upward trajectory only continued after that. By the end of year, he had opened for Tyler Farr at Buffalo River Jam, performed for the third time at sought-after venue Luke Combs’ Category 10 (this time as part of BusCall), played numerous local shows and a couple of Upstate New York runs, released 7 singles, grown his highly-engaged online fanbase, secured Spotify listeners in 130+ countries (74.5K+ monthly listeners at the time of publication), and added a couple hundred thousand streams to the 4M+ collective streams across platforms in his career discography (with 1.7M+ collective streams across platforms in his solo discography a year in a half in)— and that’s just scratching the surface.

Last December, he released the “Biggest song of his year,” “You Wears Off”— which he co-wrote with Drew Green (“Best Ex I Ever Had”) and Ethan Willis. Within the vulnerable tune, he sings of a heartbreak he can’t move past by illustrating the small reminders that make the memory of her so hard to erase, like the fragrance of Chanel No. 5.
