By Justin James | February 28, 2025

It’s a new week, and there are so many new releases!

Benson Boone returns with a fresh track titled “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” which continues follows his hit song “Beautiful Things. In this song, Boone encounters an ex and expresses mixed emotions with lyrics like, “I’m sorry I’m here for someone else/ It’s good to see your face/ And I really hope you’re doing well/ I hope you’re doing well/ I’m sorry I’m here for someone else/ I wish that I could stay/ And talk at the bar all by ourselves/ But I’m here for someone else.” This latest single offers a glimpse into the new era that Boone is embarking on with his music.

One of the most compelling voices in the country music scene, Ashley Anne has released her latest single, “lead a horse to water“. Drawing from personal challenges, the song delves into the anguish and enlightenment that arise when unconditional love is unreturned. Through her poignant storytelling, Ashley explores themes of love, self-respect, and the wisdom gained from emotional investment. “It’s about understanding that we can only control ourselves, not others. Love blindly, but do not be blind in love,” Ashley comments on the inspiration behind her single.

Canadian country music artist Taylor-Rae has released her new single, “Bittersweet,” now available on all streaming platforms. After a year marked by numerous accolades and significant milestones, Taylor-Rae keeps winning over fans across North America with her emotive songwriting and strong vocal performances.

Singer-songwriter Stephen Stanley has released his new single “this far down,” now available on all platforms through Capitol CMG. Alongside this launch, Stephen has also revealed the release date for his forthcoming album, “trustfall,” scheduled for April 25, 2025.

You can listen to “this far down” here and pre-order or pre-save “trustfall” here.

Stephen shares the inspiration behind his latest single: “I wrote ‘this far down’ during a period of feeling out of place, despite knowing it wasn’t the reality. Rejection is a common experience, and initially, I dealt with it through anger. However, I’ve learned that such a response doesn’t lead to growth. Instead, trusting in God and concentrating on what truly matters has been my way forward.”
