Reba is back in the studio…
Brett Eldredge has someone special in his life… 

 

Reba fans, you can rejoice. She is back in the studio recording new music. She posted a series of photos on Instagram to prove it. On was a picture of her headphones with the hashtags #newmusic and #comingsoon. No word on what exactly she is recording or when we will get to hear, but she is recording, so I will keep you posted.

Well ladies, Brett Eldredge does in fact  have a special someone in his life. His dog, Edgar.
And Brett being Brett, he took his special bond with Edgar to a whole other level in the reimagined video for his latest single, "Love Someone."
In the clip, they only need each other in life and go on showing affection during life’s romantic moments- candlelit dinner for two, gazing at snow-covered mountains together, soaking in the view from their back porch and Edgar even rides shotgun on Brett’s motorcycle.
The original video for "Love Someone" features a collection of scenes from Brett’s 2018 The Long Way Tour, which will make a stop at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica on September 28th.

Luke Bryan still at #1…
Jennifer Nettles to make a movie…
The Band Perry is still not country… 

For the second week in a row, Luke Bryan is sitting pretty at #1 on the Mediabase Country Airplay chart with "Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset." 

Jennifer Nettles has been announced as one of the cast members in an upcoming feature film about the life of abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
The movie is set to begin filming next month, with no release date announced yet.

The Band Perry are back again and they aren’t country or brunettes this time around. Now they explore uncharted territory with Coordinates -- a five-song EP that is unapologetically electronic.
The family trio, dyed their hair blonde and went into the studio with producer Rick Rubin, best known for his work with acts like The Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Run-DMC -- with the intention of moving as far as possible from their old sound.
Kimberly Perry says they listened to a lot of Kanye and Trent Reznor while making the EP. Coordinates is available this Friday.
