NEWTON’S FIRST LAW – MADDIE LENHART
MADDIE LENHART‘s latest single ‘Newton’s First Law’ transforms emotional burnout into something immersive and deeply resonant, capturing the feeling of using movement as a survival tactic. Centered around the aching chorus — “I stay in motion / Keep it all going / And run till my lungs give out” — the song explores the exhausting cycle of staying busy just to avoid confronting heartbreak head-on.Blending atmospheric country textures with emotionally driven songwriting, the single pulls influence from Fleetwood Mac and The Chicks while carving out a sound entirely its own.
Newton’s First Law sets the tone for Maddie’s upcoming EP rollout with a sound that feels expansive, emotional, and strikingly self-aware. Check it out below…
BAILEY MARIE – ROCK A BYE BABY
BAILEY MARIE‘s new single, ‘Rock A Bye Baby’ is a bold, cinematic country revenge anthem from Bailey Marie that flips familiar nursery rhymes into a darkly playful story of betrayal, retaliation, and emotional release, channeling the storytelling edge of Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert.
The song opens with Verse 1, setting the narrative in motion: “Mary had a little man / Married for ten, made life plans / Little did she know on Friday nights / He was sleepin’ around with the neighbor’s wife / She had enough of his shit / Lyin’ and cheatin’, promised he’d quit / Mary said this was the last time / And sang him this nursery rhyme.” It immediately establishes heartbreak turning into resolve, as Mary reaches her breaking point.
That leads into the chorus, which transforms a classic nursery rhyme into a sharp breakup statement: “It’s rainin’, it’s pourin’ / The old man is snorin’ / She packed her bags and left / Had enough of his bedtime stories / Rock a bye baby she said pullin’ away / Her ass was gone when he woke the next day / She said see ya later hope you have a good life / Hope the neighbor makes a better wife.” The hook reframes childhood nostalgia into a moment of finality, independence, and revenge-fueled clarity.
‘Rock A Bye Baby’ is out now across all leading music platforms. Check it out below:
KERRIGAN BARRY – THE WORST
KERRIGAN BARRY wastes no time setting the scene with ‘The Worst,’ dropping listeners directly into a chaotic house party: music blasting, energy high, and probably a bathroom sign that reads “don’t do coke.” It’s vivid, a little reckless, and instantly cinematic, pairing perfectly with the track’s punchy pop-rock production and sharp lyrical edge.
“I wrote this song after a guy told my boyfriend I was the worst thing that ever happened to him. This aged well, we are happily engaged to be married this year.”
‘The Worst’ is out now for your pleasure. Why not check it out below…
