Nashville-based singer-songwriter and fastest rising voice in country music, Max McNown, released his new single “Same Questions” alongside a moving performance video via Fugitive Recordings x The Orchard x Columbia Records.
“”When I wrote ‘Same Questions’ I knew I wanted to write a breakup song, but in a different way – through the lens of questions that get asked in relationships.” says McNown. “From “how many kids will we have” to the early basic questions, like “where are you from. Everyone and anyone in a relationship has asked some version of these questions throughout love and loss.”
This new single follows his previously released “St. Helens Alpenglow” and Call Me If You Miss Me”, and continues the story of his stunning sophomore album Night Diving (released 24th January), a graceful fusion of folk and pop produced by Jamie Kenney (Colbie Caillat, Laci Kaye Booth).
One of the “brightest newly minted stars to come out of Nashville in recent years” (GRAMMY.com), McNown recently made his UK and European debut at C2C: Country to Country Festival in London, Berlin and Rotterdam and will be returning overseas for a headlining tour across the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and France in December.
