Country music superstar Brad Paisley and American rock band Dawes recently released new music together.

The collaboration, titled "Raining Inside," is available now across all digital platforms.

Brad wrote the song with Taylor Goldsmith, lead singer of Dawes, and Lee Thomas Miller, in 2024. It was initially recorded with just Brad's vocals but was inspired into a collaboration after the magic of the Grammy performance with Taylor and his brother Griffin on Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." with an all-star band that included Brad, Sheryl Crow, Brittany Howard, John Legend, and St. Vincent.

Meanwhile, Paisley recently announced his Truck Still Works World Tour, which will launch on May 21 at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The first leg of 16 shows is slated to run through August.

Walker Hayes is the special guest on the tour with Avery Anna, Mae Estes and Alexandra Kay sharing the opening slot.

Elton John and Brandi Carlile recently shared a new single, "Swing For The Fences," from their upcoming collaborative album, Who Believes In Angels?.

Elton John and Brandi Carlile recently shared a new single, "Swing For The Fences," from their upcoming collaborative album, Who Believes In Angels?.

"Swing For The Fences" carries a message of empowerment for the LGBTQIA community.

"Swing For The Fences' was a little gem I took into the studio with me: I'm a gay woman, Elton's a gay man and we both have families, and our dreams have come true," Carlile explained. "I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to write an anthem for young gay kids out there that calls them into a bigger, more elegant, more fabulous life. Just like 'go, go! Don't let anything hold you back!'"

Elton continued, "When we recorded 'Swing For The Fences', it was the moment that crystallized where the album was going. It was hard to get to that point, but we knew we had to rise to the occasion and we all just felt this massive sense of joy and euphoria. After our initial difficulties, all the uncertainties started to dissipate when this song came together. It just sounded great."

Who Believes In Angels?, which is a follow-up to Elton's 2021 album The Lockdown Sessions, is scheduled to arrive on April 4 via Island EMI. The record features contributions from Andrew Watt and John's longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin.

The album also includes "Never Too Late," an Oscar-nominated song, created for the Disney+ documentary of the same name.
