There aren’t very many artists interested in staying true to pure country aesthetics anymore, but that isn’t stopping young songbird Xolex from breaking down some of the most incredibly virginal country melodies with ease and swagger in her new single “Ain’t Buyin’ It.” Xolex’s vocal style comes from the old school nightclub aesthetic for certain, and when it’s

While it might not have a place among the TikTok-centric music of the now, Cameron Joseph’s newest single “Run to the Cross” is a song that paints itself with a delicate brush, giving its religious background the stage completely while still focusing on positioning itself as a song that could still get plenty of mainstream
