On the heels of his I Need A Truck Tour kick-off, rising 15-year-old artist and Billboard Magazine’s youngest male artist to appear on 21 Under 21, Maddox Batson, releases the upbeat, sentimental track “Coincidence.” Available via Prosper Entertainment / Warner Records, Batson’s latest admits that a certain kind of love is no coincidence. Listen to the track and watch the music video below.

Written by Beau Bailey, Casey Brown, Travis Wood and Batson, “Coincidence” taps into Batson’s signature combination of vulnerable country lyrics derived from honest observation and young love’s perspective.

Recently, Batson kicked off his I Need A Truck Tour in Richmond, Virginia on September 7 and hits 29 markets before wrapping in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama on November 2. Key stops include Kansas City, MO; Milwaukee, WI; Pittsburgh, PA; Philadelphia, PA and Boston, MA’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway.

Batson is also joining Lainey Wilson’s Whirlwind Tour for select dates, including a stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on October 2.

The 15-year-old also recently released “No More,” a powerful track that taps into heartbreak and healing with a combination of grit, vulnerability and raw emotional delivery. Fueled by a hook-heavy chorus and defiant lyrics, “No More” highlights Batson’s continued evolution as both a songwriter and performer.

NBC Nightly News hailed Batson as “A young star, new on the country charts already striking a chord and hitting all the right notes.” At the same time, Forbes declares him as a teen who “blends country and pop with heartfelt vocals.” Batson continues to build a loyal fan base thanks to his high-energy shows, honest storytelling and genre-blending sound that connects across generations.

Following a breakout year that included his Grand Ole Opry debut, a high-profile appearance at Stagecoach, “Coincidence” is available here and on all streaming platforms.

About Maddox Batson:
Maddox Batson navigates the world with wisdom and wit far beyond his 15 years. After the Nashville-born, Alabama-based songwriter began gaining notoriety covering songs from Zach Bryan, Red Clay Strays and more, he started to write his own songs. Thanks to early singles like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know,” Batson quickly showed that he wasn’t only a star at covering country hits, but an excellent writer of his own home-cooked cuts – a practice he saw first-hand as a co-writer on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s smash hit collaboration, “Tough.”

With the arrival of his deluxe EP First Dance (The After Party), Batson was ready to show the world you’re never too young to be the face of music all while preparing for sold-out live shows across the country with his I Need A Truck Tour. Batson also recently made his debut appearance at Stagecoach Music Festival and released “No More” on July 31. Life is moving fast for the multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar & mandolin) and he’s trying his best to remain a kid while becoming next up in country-pop music. “It can be overwhelming, this life, but I’ve got a lot of good people surrounding me,” he explains. “I’m still just a kid, though, and I’m happy about that.”

Pre-order / pre-save First Dance (The After Party) HERE.

“It’s wild to be 15 and releasing a song about the anticipation of my first truck at the same time I’m announcing a tour – my family is good about reminding me to live in the moment and really take it all in, and I promise you I am,” shares the multi-instrumentalist. “The band and I had the best time on the Road to Indio Tour and this last weekend at Stagecoach was sick – I was there just one year before as a fan in the crowd for Jelly Roll, so to play a tour that wrapped with a set there was a dream come true. As long as y’all keep showing up, so will we – we have the best fans in the world!"

Kicking off on September 7 in Richmond, Virginia, the I Need A Truck Tour will feature 29 dates across the U.S., with stops stretching from Orlando, Florida, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and beyond.

All along the way, fans will be treated to electrifying performances from one of Country’s brightest young stars, who represents the start of a new creative generation.
