Michael Ray

"It's a song just about being from my hometown and not really knowing that people do things different around the world until you travel around the world ..."

Ray explains how he hooked the multi-genre veteran for "Higher Education," the title track from his new EP.

The artist wrote "Picture" in the wake of the death of his Uncle Terry in June of 2020.

Ray went countrier than ever for "Whiskey and Rain," and that's just the beginning of his traditional-minded next chapter.

In debuting a new song earlier this month the "Next Girl" singer once again looks to have dug deep into her personal narrative.

The 22-year-old Tritt is a singer and songwriter as well.

"It's one of those years that you grow a lot from."

"I certainly didn't get married to get divorced," she says.

Michael Ray is all kinds of heartbroken in his new single.

All of that time at home, she says in a new interview, has "showed [her] a lot."

"I'm happy for him," she said at the time.

They’d been together as a couple for more than two years.
