This track mixes heavy bass guitar, elevated drums, and Blu's powerhouse voice to give it a punk rock vibe with the lyrical style of country music storytelling. Written by Stephen Allbritten,
David Brown, and Nathan Dohse, "Doin' Fine" sets the tone of Blu's new EP as it embodies his Country Punk attitude and energy. The single tells the story of what it feels like to try to make it in Nashville. It is a song to be embraced by all dreamers who can relate to the grind, struggle, and joy that accompany artists' journeys to the top of the entertainment industry.
Blu elaborates, "Doin' Fine" is a song about being in Nashville and chasing the dream with a community of people doing the same thing. We're all figuring out our own path, having fun, but constantly wanting more. We are all out here grinding until we reach the big lights of a stadium, and until then, we're all out here doin' fine."
Currently, Manny Blu is coming off a U.S. and Canadian tour and his most recent EP release, DEViL - a tracklist that expresses testaments of love and explains where he is at in his life right now. The EP features songs by hit songwriters Michael Hardy, Ryan Hurd,
