New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Last week, 19-year-old independent country artist Austin Williams released his debut EP titled 'Wanna Be Saved,' which featured the breakout title track that made him a first-timer on Billboard's charts and catapulted him to the top 10 of iTunes all-genre and country charts, solidifying his place as one of country music's most promising young artists to watch.
He continues the momentum with 'All Out Acoustic Sessions,' out now (10.6).
'All Out Acoustic Sessions' features a collection of stripped-down performances that put his "burly" (Billboard), timelessly country vocals front and center, while highlighting his diverse blend of radio-ready melodies, hip-hop-leaning vocal rhythms and more. It's a testament to Williams' ability to fit within any sub-genre of country music from the modern sounds to the old-school traditions.
Fans will hear renditions of his rocket ship single "Wanna Be Saved," as well as original songs "Stuck On Me" and "Wrong Truck."
William takes on an acoustic version of his electrifying Whiskey Meyers cover "Bury My Bones," while adding a country-fried twist to rapper Juice WRLD's "All Girls Are The Same" and "Lucid Dreams."
Williams has collaborated with some of country music's most in-demand songwriters, including
Bobby Tomberlin (Blake Shelton, Willie Nelson, Diamond Rio), Tommy Cecil (Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Kane Brown), Jimi Bell (Jon Pardi, Kip Moore, Bailey Zimmerman) and others.
In a time where social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram and more have helped uncover country music's top new artists, Williams, whose TikTok channel has garnered more than 2.9 million likes, proves there is more to be discovered, and he's just getting started.
