Hereford, Texas native Randall King and his fiancée, fellow singer/songwriter Brittany Warthan, announced they’re expecting their first child in spring 2025 with the release of their heartfelt duet, “Baby Steps,” available now.
Written by Brittany Warthan, Michael Davis and Dylan Nordquist, “Baby Steps” celebrates the little moments that go into building a relationship, each culminating in the next chapter of their lives as they prepare to wed and become parents:
So far, so good and its only getting better
Two hearts that could take on anything together
Still got a lot to learn cause we ain't got a clue
What happens when our world starts spinning pink or blue
Getting ready for more baby steps with you
“This baby is a massive blessing! I’ve always wanted to be a father and start a family and it kick starts this year,” King shares excitedly. “Couldn’t ask for a better momma either! This baby is gonna be SO loved and raised up on Jesus and country music. Can’t wait to finally have my little one in my arms!”
“I’m blown away and just honored that God has trusted us with something so special,” Warthan adds. “I’m excited to go into another chapter of life with confidence because I get to raise a little one with a man that inspires me daily.”
King released his sophomore album, Into The Neon, via Warner Music Nashville on January 26, 2024 to critical acclaim from Grammy.com, Billboard and more, leaving Texas Monthly stating “his Texas bona fides are unimpeachable” and Holler lauding King as “the genre's neo-traditional figurehead.” The album yielded King’s debut single, “I Could Be That Rain,” which arrived as the most-added single at country radio, and has 80 total adds to-date.
King recently announced the acoustic version of the album, Neon (Unplugged), is due out on Feb. 21. For more information and to follow along with updates, visit RandallKingMusic.com.
About Randall King:
A West Texas native and self-described “old soul," Warner Music Nashville's Randall King has never wavered in his honky-tonk allegiance – in fact, he’s worn it like a badge of honor, growing with pride into a leading voice for today’s traditional country. Amassing nearly 400 Million streams with singles like “You In A Honky Tonk,” “Hey Cowgirl” and “Mirror, Mirror,” he’s kept the twang alive in country’s mainstream while also earning acclaim through deeply personal EPs like 2020’s Leanna, and his 2022 major label album debut, Shot Glass – which landed on both Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far). Schooled on icons like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson, but inspired by modern masters like Dierks Bentley and Gary Allan, King first built an independent, grass-roots following on the strength of his electrifying live shows – each one a harrowing mix of rowdy roughnecking, romantic tenderness and breathtaking emotion – never asking for permission to explore his creative vision. He has since gone on to headline all across the U.S., the U.K. and Europe, where he continues to play nearly 150 shows a year and hone his craft where it matters most. Named a Country Artist to Watch by everyone from Pandora and Country Now to Music Mayhem Magazine, his sophomore major label album Into the Neon, available now, takes that craft to the next level, as King’s neo-traditional roots meet the blood-pumping rhythms and sharp, arena-sized grooves of Y2K-era country and beyond. Co-produced by King and Jared Conrad, and featuring 18 tracks, punchy sounds exist side-by-side with timeless swagger, further blurring the line between yesteryear and today – even as King renews his forever-country vows. Into The Neon was named among the best country albums of the year (so far) by Whiskey Riff, Country Now & Entertainment Focus, and yielded King’s debut single, “I Could Be That Rain,” available now at country radio.
