Joey Myron Reimagines ‘Chills’ with a Gritty Nashville Vibe

Already establishing himself as a musical outlier - a modern-day mix of Johnny Cash and Elvis - artist Joey Myron is serving up a countrified version of his streaming hit “Chills” with his latest release, “Chills: Nashville Version,” available today on all digital streaming platforms. With the help of AI duo Lucky Dog, the updated take employs classic country instrumentation, while still preserving the original electronic production fans fell in love with, and showcases Myron's "intoxicating vocal performance that pulls you in like a warm embrace" (All Country News). “Chills” (feat. DJ/producer Mickey Valen) originally released in 2018 and has since amassed over 90 million streams.

“Adding a smoky flavor to the original song is exactly what ‘Chills’ needed,” said Myron of the new take. “This Nashville version was inspired by driving through the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and listening to the original. I immediately realized I had to re-sing the song to suit the beautiful landscape. Adding a rustic and Western twist represents my evolution into a country artist with an appreciation for pop and other genres. Who said country music can’t be sensual?”

“When Joey came to me with the idea of making a country version of ‘Chills,’ I was initially surprised,” said Valen. “Lucky Dog was able to add the perfect country flair in production - paired with new gravely baritone vocals from Joey (whose voice has matured from when we made the original). Combining forces and genres transformed ‘Chills’ into an entirely new song, and now we get to share our genre-bending vision with the world.”

Myron most recently released his dance hall jam “Hoe Down” - an alternative country tune inspired by line dance parties that inspire folks to let loose and have a good time. The official music video for the tune, which released on 11/2, perfectly captures a “carefree, spirited celebration that transforms a night out into a communal, almost spiritual experience” (All Country News) and is now streaming on The Heartland Network and American Country Network.
