Hailed as âone of our greatest living Country singers” (MusicRow), Kameron Marlowe returns with further evidence of this praise in his sophomore albumKeepinâ The Lights On, available everywhere NOW.
The 16-track collection cements Marlowe as a true force in todayâs Country music landscape as a triple-threat singer, songwriter and performer blazing his own path, marked by his distinctively soulful and âformidableâ (Billboard) vocals.
The album comes just days after his âsteamy, well-produced twist of a balladâ (Country Central) âStrangersâ hit Country radio airwaves, nabbing 36 first-week stations, a career high for Marlowe.
âI am so proud of this album and how natural it felt piecing it all together,â shares Marlowe. âGetting more honest and sharing things I battle with was something I had to really find courage to feel comfortable doing, but seeing the way my fans relate to my music made it all worthwhile. âKeepinâ The Lights Onâ is an ode to my dadâs commitment to providing for my family and the life lessons he taught along the way.â
Produced by Dann Huff with writing credits from Kendell Marvel, Dallas Wilson, Mitchell Tenpenny, Wyatt McCubbin and more, Keepinâ The Lights On invites listeners deep into Marloweâs world â from childhood to modern day â offering a transparent showcase of growth, maturity and most importantly, a lifetime of fulfilling promises. Focused on heart-gripping lyrics that explore lifeâs struggles, the collectiondives deep into the human experience, touching on themes of mental health, battling feelings of inadequacy and the relentless pursuit of success. Showcasing his versatility as an artist, Marlowe offers a blend of moments drenched in honky-tonk rhythm and melody laced with a dusty aura of solid Country gold.

The album kicks off with the 90s infused honky-tonk banger â911â before his rip-roaring vocals hit the gas in âNothinâ Slowing Us Down.â âNever Really Knowâ touches on the reality of addiction and the hidden struggles people face, while âI Can Run,â accompanied by an all-new music video, is a celebration of rebuilding oneâs sense of self. In âQuit You,â he makes an explicit connection between the song that started it all, âGiving You Up,â and his current state of mind. The heart-wrenching âStrangersâ with Ella Langley stands tall as the albumâs lead single, while the waltz-infused rhythm of âHigh Hopesâ feels the sting, yet the bright side of love lost. To Marlowe, if his second album is a statement of purpose, the culmination comes with the title track, âKeepinâ The Lights On.â He appreciatively revisits the unconditional sacrifices that his parents made during his childhood, as he promises himself to push past the doubts and fears that accompany chasing oneâs dream. The track list plays like a perfect setlist from start to finish as Marlowe wears his heart on his sleeve, revealing vulnerability in a way heâs never done before.Â
The ACM New Male Artist of the Year nominee recently wrapped his Strangers Tour with special guest Tucker Wetmore and will soon take his new album to some of the countryâs hottest fairs and festivals. With nearly one billion career streams and recognition from MusicRow, the Grand OleOpry, CMT, Amazon, Pandora, and more, Marloweâs career continues to heat up like never before.
