Republic Records / Mercury Nashville recording artist Bryce Leatherwood is arriving at Country radio with his debut single “Hung Up on You” available today on all DSPs. Written by Brandon Lay, Jeff Middleton and Neil Medley, the song will impact Country radio on Monday, Sept. 23. Listen Below.
“The second I heard ‘Hung Up On You,’ I knew it was a song I had to record,” reflects Leatherwood. “It just felt like me, yet it carries the influences of artists I look up to. I can hear a little of Eric Church’s ‘Smoke A Little Smoke’ and some of the rock elements reminiscent of Allman Brothers that I grew up admiring. It felt true to all aspects of my artistry and my role models, and I’m excited for it to be my first single at Country radio.
“Growing up, Country radio is what we listened to at home, so taking this one to the airwaves is a full circle moment for me,” Leatherwood adds. “All I’ve ever wanted to do is make my family and everyone back home proud, and having them hear my voice on the radio is a dream come true.”
Metaphorically comparing the intoxicating effects of love with those of alcohol, Leatherwood delivers an upbeat anthem where the only cure for his swirling thoughts about what comes next is the continued presence of the girl he loves:
“Hung Up On You” is Leatherwood’s latest release as he continues to tease new music to come. Leatherwood was featured in Boot Barn’s 2024 spring campaign Taking Flight, a highlight on up-and-coming country musicians, and was also named a 2024 Artist to Watch by Music Mayhem and Country Now earlier this year.
After graduating college, the Woodstock, Georgia native competed on the NBC hit television show The Voice and was crowned the Season 22 winner and signed a management deal with Morris Higham Management in December 2022. Following his success on The Voice, Leatherwood began pursuing a full-time music career, inking a record deal with Republic Records and Mercury Nashville in October 2023.
Leatherwood concluded his first-ever headlining tour, The Neon Does Tour, and performed at CMA Fest’s Good Molecules Reverb Stage this summer, and will make his Grand Ole Opry debut next Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024.
