Oh, nice! I've been enjoying this one.
For some reason - he reminds me of a young Luke Bryan. I think he could be very big.

I like this a lot. The melody (and even his voice at times) reminds me a little of "Raised On It" by Sam Hunt.

Saw him play this last night as he opened up for Sam Hunt. His whole performance really impressed me, he definitely has talent. I like his sound and style. Hope this can be a breakout hit for him.

Actually quite like this one! It's got a really nice melody and hook that seems like it'll go over well with the general public. His voice is sexy great as well. If I have one complaint, it's that he sounds too similar to Sam Hunt--but even so, if Sam Hunt himself actually had material like this, I'd eat it right up, so it's no big deal! I think this could do well, especially next summer, on radio. He's gorgeous lol

I know they just pushed this as the debut single... but Conner is currently blowing up online (TikTok) because of this 'unreleased' song - 'I Hate Alabama'. BMLG is releasing on streaming/iTunes this Friday.
Learn From It has had a decent start, but I could see them switching to this. It sounds like an absolute smash.

Agreed. “I Hate Alabama” is a smash waiting to happen. That chorus is so infectious. Such a well written song.

For reference, he was averaging 10-20k on his TikTok - his latest post on this song is over 500k, barstool sports channels have shared it. It's absolutely blowing up.

"I Hate Alabama," is an absolute home run. Please dump this song (which is quite good itself) and release this ASAP. Fantastic lyrics. Best song I've heard in months.
Would love to see Conner replace Walen on the airwaves.

"I Hate Alabama" got one add this week, while "Learn From It" got 6 for a total of 32. It's doing okay and I could see it growing into a hit but there's already interest for IHA so if they sense it struggling I wonder if it'll be pulled rather than held onto forever.

Everything he's put out so far since this single went to radio has been better it, lol. Idk it might hit and do well for him, but I wish they'd ditch it and put out "I Hate Alabama" because that one sounds like something that would stand out from the pack and that's what someone like him needs to do as a new artist in a sea of interchangeable males. "Why I Can't Leave" is fantastic as well, and I LOVE the sound of "Boots in the Bleachers" on first listen. All of these songs sound like they would smash at country radio, and he has a pretty damn solid voice. His style feels refreshing and modern without sacrificing all the good things that root him steadfastly in a country music sound. I'd take this kid any day over the likes of Jameson Rodgers, Travis Denning, and Matt Stell.

Give the public what we want. Lol

He opened for Ryan Hurd, and he put on a really good show. Definitely hear a lot of potential in this guy. His EP is pretty solid. Really enjoying "Didn't Go Too Far".
