Emerging from the heart of the country music scene, Corey Kent, the Oklahoma native now based in Texas, has just dropped his latest track, ‘This Heart,’ a powerful and poignant exploration of the emotions surrounding the end of a relationship. The highly evocative lyrics and heartbreaking imagery in the song have already captivated audiences, making it one of Kent’s most anticipated releases to date.
Kent first teased the emotionally charged single on social media in August, generating an overwhelming response from his fans. The track quickly gained momentum, accumulating nearly 20 million views on TikTok, setting the stage for its official release. If you saw him out on the road with Ashley McBryde in the past two in the UK you will have heard playing the song in his set too.
Accompanying the release is a visually stunning music video, directed by Gus Black (‘Something’s Gonna Kill Me’). The video paints a vivid picture of a relationship unraveling, depicting the tumultuous journey that often follows a breakup. With epic landscapes, intense characters, futile actions, and emotional warfare, the video brings Kent’s song to life.
“Some songs take on a life of their own. They demand to be put out into the world. I’ve been lucky enough to experience that a time or two. But never like this…our most highly anticipated release ever and it’s not even close. You guys have waited patiently, and we promised you it would be worth the wait. Well, now this song is yours. Hope it makes you feel something,” shares Kent.
Penned by Thomas Archer, Blake Bollinger, Jacob Hackworth, and Michael Tyler, ‘This Heart’ is a testament to Kent’s ability to convey raw emotion through his music. The track is produced by his frequent collaborator, Chris Farren.
As Corey Kent kicks off 2024, he’s riding the wave of success, recently achieving gold status with ‘Something’s Gonna Kill Me.’ The track has garnered over 80 million streams worldwide and is climbing the country radio charts. Kent is set to join his friend Parker McCollum on the ‘Burn It Down’ tour, featuring 39 dates across the United States starting in February.
Fans of Corey Kent can expect more emotionally charged and authentic music as he continues to make his mark on the country music scene.
