Country music is hotter than peppers roasting in the desert sun right now. Queen Beyoncé is still selling and dominating the charts with her new album, “Cowboy Carter.” But there are other black artists and musicians who are also representing the genre with flair. Country star Shamboozy, for example, just released “VEGAS” and announced new concert dates.
Vegas is a fun song that’s easy to get stuck in your head. Shamboozy has successfully used social media to build a fanbase and expand his presence and popularity in the music world. On YouTube alone, his song A BAR SONG has received nearly 7 million plays in less than 14 days. His new song VEGAS has already received 247,000 plays and counting.
But Vegas isn’t just a meaningless track. It’s a sing-along, reflective track released on EMPIRE. Singing over a production that transports the listener to the Wild West, Shaboozey laments a past filled with long nights and unrewarded risks. Listen to the track here.
