Lauren Alaina Country Pop Grand Ole Opry member and Big Loud Records powerhouse Lauren Alaina is unveiling a new musical chapter with the 2025 releases of “Those Kind of Women,” “Household” and “All MyExes (feat. Chase Matthew)”– out now. Signaling more new music on the horizon, these releases are the first tastes of new music since her six-song 2023 EP Unlocked. Alaina has earned three chart-topping hits: RIAA Platinum-certified “Road Less Traveled,” Diamond “What Ifs” with her childhood friend Kane Brown, and 3X Platinum “ONE BEER” with labelmate HARDY + Devin Dawson. With the Brown duet, Alaina became the only solo country female artist in history to receive the RIAA's Diamond certification on a single. The Georgia-born force, whom American Songwriter notes is “on a seemingly limitless upward trajectory,” has also shared the stage with Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Martina McBride, and more. This year, she joins the much-anticipated Rascal Flatts Life Is A Highway Tour. The vocalist has performed on some of the highest-profile stages in the world including PBS' A Capitol Fourth, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, CBS' Beyond The Edge, ABC's The Bachelorette, TODAY, Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, ABC's CMA Fest specials, CMA and ACM Awards, Nickelodeon's All That, Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day halftime performance, MLB's World Series national anthem performance, a performance at the White House for President Obama, and more. Ashley Kutcher Country Ashley Kutcher didn’t plan on becoming a full-time artist—she was in nursing school when a TikTok comment inspired her to write “Love You From a Distance,” a brutally honest breakup song that ended up changing everything. “I thought it was just a personal song,” Ashley reflects. “But soon, people were asking me if I read their diary.” Ashley is a country-pop singer-songwriter whose music blends heartfelt storytelling with catchy, genre-blurring melodies. Growing up on the shores of Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, she found early inspiration on the water. Summers were spent on the boat with friends and family, listening to UB40, Bob Marley, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, and Jimmy Buffett playing in the background. Ashley weaves the rhythms of coastal life into songs that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly current. Since that first viral moment, Ashley’s amassed over 240 million streams on Spotify alone and sold out multiple U.S. headline tours. Ashley released her debut album House on the Water in 2024, followed by her Play Responsibly EP later that year. Ashley’s next chapter returns to her roots– real storytelling, catchy melodies, and unmistakable honesty. “I’ve never been great at expressing how I feel out loud,” she says. “Writing songs is how I make sense of it all.” Ashley’s latest album, Back To My Roots &amp; These Roots Run Deep, is a return to her roots as an acoustic singer/songwriter, marrying hard hitting hooks with a more organic &amp; country influenced sound.
