Country music artist Hayden JosephOut country music artist Hayden Joseph drops his new album Country To Me, which shares a universal story of a young adult trying to find his place in this world.
“What does it mean to be, ‘country?’ There is no one definition – and that is exactly what my album, Country to Me, is all about,” says Joseph.
Hayden says the title track for the album “ain’t your ‘grandma’s country music.'” And that’s totally fine by me.
The bright and bouncy country/pop chorus is an addictive ear worm that perfectly reflects Joseph’s sunny perspective:
Six string stories set me free
Speaking truth through melody
I might sing in a different key
I’m syncing life to a beat
And that’s country to me
“I write stories rooted in personal experiences, but I challenge myself to write lyrics that are applicable to many walks of life – not just those country radio is currently appealing to,” says Joseph.
His debut album, Different, was released in the Spring of 2021, logging nearly 1M streams across platforms to date.
Its follow-up singles served to increase his rapid trajectory, securing placements on several notable Spotify editorials, including “Out Now,” “New Music Nashville,” “Fresh Finds,” and “Country Christmas.”
