Charles Esten surprised fans on CBS’ THE TALK with the live announcement of his new song ‘One Good Move’. It is now available for pre-save/pre-add and releasing March 3. More than 10 years after arriving in Nashville the heartfelt romantic rocker will also be releasing a forthcoming independent debut album.
Co-written by Esten with Sam Bacicoff, Zarni deVette, and Elise Hayes, ‘One Good Move’ is a reflective power ballad with a soul-baring story, describing a misspent youth that paid off in the end. Dedicated to his college sweetheart and wife of 31 years, Patty, the transformative track produced by Marshall Altman puts Esten’s smouldering vocal in the spotlight, backing it with a powerful rhythm section, dreamy guitars, and a poignant piano to capture a life-changing true love. All told, it’s an expertly crafted balance of Country heart and Rock sophistication, and it points toward things to come.
Widely known for his role as Deacon Claybourne’ on the ABC/CMT’s ‘Nashville’, Esten has fully dedicated himself to writing and performing in the real-life Music City. He’s made more than 155 appearances at the Grand Ole Opry and headlined multiple tours of the U.S. and Europe, while also garnering more than 10 million career streams and becoming a 2018 Guinness World Records title holder for the “Most consecutive weeks to release an original digital single by a music act,” after delivering 54 original songs once a week for 54 straight weeks.
With his artistry spanning mediums and styles, the global entertainer is currently making headlines as Ward Cameron on the Netflix show Outer Banks. Appearing at the Los Angeles, CA, red carpet premiere of Season 3 at the landmark Regency Village Theatre, Esten spoke with Entertainment Tonight, PEOPLE, and more, before a special viewing of the first episode with his fellow cast and an exclusive group of fans.
