Country music’s hottest rising act Shaboozey releases his latest single A Bar Song (Tipsy) via EMPIRE. The track serves as the fourth single off the sonic outlaw’s highly anticipated album `Where I’ve Been, isn’t Where I’m Going’ out 31st May 2024.
A Bar Song (Tipsy) beautifully embodies the values synonymous with the genre, filled with liquor, parties, and breaking out of the routine 9-to-5. Written by Shaboozey, the track builds on the Virginia native’s devotion to country music as he sets his smooth vocals to an upbeat clap tempo and includes crowd-filled backup vocals, well-placed fiddle riffs, and a folksy acoustic guitar.
On A Bar Song (Tipsy) Shaboozey shares, “Early 2000s Hip-Hop and R&B were such a huge part of my childhood and I had been wanting to flip one for a while into a country song, so we did it with “Tipsy.” I love how it turned out because it’s a true blend of genres I love. It’s a song that I wanted people to hear and just wanna have fun and party!”
Shaboozey continues to break out in both country music and in pop culture. Honored with the privilege of joining Beyoncé on her critically acclaimed masterpiece ‘Cowboy Carter’ with features on Billboard Hot 100 charting tracks Spaghettii and Sweet Honey Buckin’ which resulted in his Billboard Hot 100 debut, the Nigerian-American artist has gained more than 12 million monthly streams.
Streaming juggernaut and critically acclaimed single Let it Burn, the haunting heartbreak track Anabelle, and most recently, Vegas, a sing-along ready single straight from the wild west, give fans a taste of what to expect on ‘Where I’ve Been, isn’t Where I’m Going’. With shows across Nashville, New York and Los Angeles this May, fans can expect a stand-out set with his latest tracks as well as to-be released songs from the highly anticipated upcoming album.
Rising multi-media artist Shaboozey intends to build his own world, determined to carve his own lane in the Alt-Country / Hip-Hop space; he crafts a sound that pays homage to a cast of traditional western influences, such as Bob Dylan, Lead Belly, Johnny Cash, and Leonard Cohen, while looking into the future of what the two genres have yet to introduce. Remaining true to his Virginia roots, Shaboozey hopes to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of producing some of the most prolific creatives of the new millennium. This time through elevating the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing a modern Americana culture to a global audience.
