Shane Profitt – “Still Picks Up”

Shane Profitt displays a vulnerable message of feeling disconnected from loved ones in his new track, “Still Picks Up.” The rising singer continues to peel back his emotional layers as he evokes a sentimental tone in his latest release that reminds listeners to take the time to appreciate that one person who will always pick up the phone, no matter how long it’s been. Profitt got a taste of perspective while he was in the hospital waiting room with whirling thoughts after his father had suffered from a stroke on their annual hunting trip. This led to the idea for “Still Picks Up,” which was penned by the singer with Adam James and Matt Dragstrem and is set to appear on his forthcoming full-length debut album. 

“I had no idea if I’d ever see him again,” Profitt shared honestly in a press release. “When you’re about to lose someone that means so much, you start to reflect on the stupid fights that could have been avoided and all the things you should have said. By the grace of God, my father is okay and here with me today. So, I wrote ‘Still Picks Up’ to remind us to call those important folks in our lives while they can still pick up the phone, because tomorrow is not promised.”

Lori McKenna – “Happy Children”

Lori McKenna delivers a dose of hopefulness in her new song, “Happy Children.” With her earnest vocals on display, the stunning singer/songwriter sends well wishes to her listeners as she encourages them to live life to the fullest, pursue dreams, spread love and end up with a joy-filled home. To showcase just how personal this song is to McKenna, it’s important to note that she penned the track with her son, Chris McKenna. Together, they wrote the powerful narrative that serves as the latest offering from the singer/songwriter’s anticipated new album, 1988, which drops July 21 via CN Records/Thirty Tigers.

Reflecting on the song, McKenna shares, “Happy Children: I heard someone say this once, ‘I wish you happy children.’ Feels like the greatest wish of all time. This song was happily written with my son Chris McKenna. It went through a couple different variations until Dave Cobb brought it so beautifully to life in the studio with the band. If my heart could say just one thing, this song is what it would say.”

She’s the real deal and I’m very proud of this song.”
