One month into 2023, country music fans have already had a chance to dig into tons of new music.

Several artists kicked off the year with repeat-worthy singles and teasers for soon-to-release albums. Some artists who released new songs last month include Old Dominion (four new tracks in time for the band’s “No Bad Vibes Tour”: “Easier Said With Rum,” “Ain’t Got A Worry,” “Freedom Like You” and “Memory Lane”), Hunter Hayes (“Sober” and “Someone Will”), Jake Owen (“My Boots Miss Yours”), RaeLynn (“It’s Happening Right Here”), Gabby Barrett (who joined Colton Dixon on a new version of his inspiring anthem, “Build a Boat”), Cole Swindell (“Drinkaby”), Caroline Jones (a solo artist who also became the first female member of Zac Brown Band, debuted “Keep it Safe,” a duet with Alyssa Bonagura) and more.

Other artists dropped full-length projects, including Tyler Hubbard, who made his solo debut after rising to fame with duo partner Brian Kelley in Florida Georgia Line. Hubbard released his long-awaited 18-track album on January 27, sharing that he “poured my heart and soul into this album, and I’m so excited to finally share it with y’all.”

On the same day, Elle King released Come Get Your Wife, a highly-anticipated album packed with everything from high-energy party anthems to heartfelt tributes. Some of the first tracks fans got to hear from the album included “Worth A Shot,” feat. Dierks Bentley, and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home),” with Miranda Lambert.

Earlier in the month, Margo Price debuted her powerful, barrier-breaking album, Strays, taking listeners on a psychedelic journey throughout the 10-track project. Price previously shared that she explored the idea for her album after asking her partner an emotional question, “What if I burn all my bridges, and can never find my way home again?,” and hearing in return: “You belong to no one.”

HARDY unleashed his half country, half rock album, the mockingbird & THE CROW, on January 20, blending genres with inspiration from tons of influences (including Soundgarden, Puddle of Mudd, Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, Matchbox 20 and other artists HARDY has listened to throughout his life). He also included collaborations with Lainey Wilson and Morgan Wallen.

Wallen has dropped a few songs of his own, teasing his highly-anticipated, 36-track album that’s set to release just in time for his massive world tour. Among others, Wallen is bringing HARDY on tour, along with ERNEST, who is weeks away from unveiling his new project.
