Big Loud Records’ Chris Lane is getting his “Fix” as the most added song at Country radio nationwide yesterday (12/7). The highly buzzed about vocalist has found his niche within the genre and rightly so, notches an impressive 73 first week stations on board for his hot debut single “Fix,” breaking the record for the most single week adds from a debut male artist in Country Aircheck history.
“Fix” highlights Lane’s natural singing style as he delivers a song about that one person who gives you exactly what you need. With a sexy southern voice layered with a sophisticated touch, NASH/Country Weekly praises Lane for “unleashing his falsetto” and TasteOfCountry.com calls him “one of the most dynamic vocalists the format has seen.”
“It’s not easy to stand out among so many up-and-coming talented artists out there, so I’m grateful to have the support of Country radio, fans, friends and an incredible team. I’m ecstatic that people are embracing my music and I couldn’t be more pumped to be sharing it with my fans,” exclaims Lane.
Working with acclaimed producer Joey Moi, Lane discovered his gift for the falsetto with “Fix.” The infectious title track shaped Lane’s sonic direction for his debut EP FIX and sent him on a search for songs to fit the upper register of his vocal range. The result – an addictive and danceable set of six songs, which is now available here: http://apple.co/1OGYDBS.
“Fix” peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Twitter Real-Time Emerging Artist chart, with shout-outs from celebrities Brett Eldredge, Florida Georgia Line, Lucy Hale, Dustin Lynch, Cole Swindell, and more, making the song one of the most shared tracks on Twitter in the U.S. from an up-and-coming artist. Taking to the newcomer’s bold and fresh sound BILLBOARD.COM reported that Lane “pushes the already-stretched boundaries of Country even further” and E! ONLINE named Lane as, “…the newest country heartthrob to hit the airwaves.” MSN.COM remarked, “…news of Chris’ talent has spread through word of mouth and the country music industry is ready to see him shine,” and RARECOUNTRY.COM agreed, “…his red hot career is about to explode.”
Currently, the rising Country singer-songwriter is opening Dustin Lynch’s headlining HELL OF A NIGHT Tour, which has sold-out select markets across the country and will make stops in Buffalo, NY (12/9), Wallingford, CT (12/10), and Huntington, NY (12/11) before heading to New York, NY (12/12).
Celebrated by ROLLING STONE as one of the “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” Lane ascended into the national spotlight topping several 2015 “Artist To Watch” lists including TasteOfCountry.com, TheBoot.com, Spotify, #CMChat, and landed as a Top 5 finalist in Macy’s iHeartRadio Rising Star contest. Starting his career selling out club shows in his hometown of Kernersville, NC, Lane launched onto the Country music scene opening for Brett Eldredge, Thomas Rhett, and Chase Rice, eventually touring with heavy-hitters Florida Georgia Line, Nelly, Jerrod Niemann, Lee Brice and more.
