Warner Music Nashville/Atlantic Records recording artist Devin Dawson has just announced the January 15th 2021 release date for his upcoming The Pink Slip EP (Pre-order here).
To celebrate the news, the acclaimed singer/songwriter also shared brand-new track âRange Roverâ today (LISTEN HERE) from the six-song project. Named for the representation of optimistic freedom showcased in lead track âI Got a Truck,â The The Pink Slip EP finds Dawson building on the edgy confidence he pioneered with Dark Horse; however, where that set found him prowling the shadows of his own stormy soul, The Pink Slip punches through the clouds.Â
âI will always be a dark horse, but I have come a long way from the person I was, and I understand more of what it means to be an artist,â Dawson says. âThere are definitely vibes on this EP that I wouldnât peg for myself, but I like the unexpected nature of doing things that people donât see coming. I try to reinvent the wheel every single day because I donât think you ever really arrive, and you can never put your feet up. I want to be honest and vulnerable and take the next step, because I always want to be creating music thatâs fresh and different from anything Iâve released before. Iâm still in black and white, but the background is a little brighter.â
Dawson is currently featured on HARDYâs Top 10 single âOne Beerâ alongside Lauren Alaina, while âI Got A Truckâ and âRange Roverâ are the first new solo releases from the breakout star since the success of his GRAMMY-nominated, ACM and CMA Single of the Year, âGodâs Country,â that he co-wrote for superstar Blake Shelton. The multi-week No. 1 also landed Dawson his first-ever ACM and CMA award nominations for Song of the Year, adding to his previously earned nods from the ACM, CMT Music, Radio Disney, BMI and MusicRow Awards. Called âone of country musicâs most tender and articulate wordsmithsâ by The Tennessean, the acclaimed singer/songwriter co-wrote every track on Dark Horse, which the Platinum-certified hit âAll On Me.â Dawson has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, ELLEN and TODAY in addition to receiving overwhelming critical praise from outlets such as HUFFPO, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, People, ELLE, AXS, HITS and more.
