Billy Ray Cyrus and FIREROSE released their new single, the love ballad “Plans.” The song was penned by Oscar winner Diane Warren, and it was produced by Justin Morgan. It was released via Damon Elliott’s record label, Kind Music Group.

“Firerose is one of the best lyricists I know and actually takes great pride in only recording songs that she has written,” Cyrus shares. “So when she came to me one day so excited about a song she’d just received from another songwriter, needless to say, I was quite surprised. Then I heard the name of the writer and she played me the demo, and I realized her exuberance was justified. ‘Plans’ by Diane Warren – legendary songwriter. When Firerose and I collaborate in our diverse musical styles, it makes a unique blend of pop-country. They say the rest is history, but in this case… it’s the future.”

“Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose have made a beautiful record that I have a feeling we will be hearing at weddings for years to come,” Warren shared in a press release.

Mindy White releases a song called “Sweetness.” You’ll enjoy it if you’re searching for a upbeat and fun tune for a weekend car drive.

Mindy Notes, “Sweetness” is one of a handful of songs I wrote at home during Covid. It’s a fun, disco-inspired pop song about those sweet and exciting early moments when you’re just starting to fall for someone. I had the melody and these 70s/disco visuals come to me randomly one day and like usual, recorded an embarrassingly awful voicenote version of it on my phone so I didn’t forget.”

Mindy White, a singer-songwriter from Nashville, TN, is known for her heartfelt lyrics, dreamy-pop vocals, and catchy melodies. She used to be part of the indie rock group Lydia and later the lead singer of the indie-pop band States, which she formed with some members of Copeland after leaving Lydia in 2010. CONTINUE READING
