Max McNown has released his soulful new single ‘This Side of Heaven', which is taken from his upcoming deluxe album ‘Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)'.
To celebrate the release of the song, McNown has dropped a performance video showcasing the rising star's evident talent. Watch a performance video for the song below:
“When I wrote this I was listening to a lot of Ray Lamontagne, who is a big inspiration to me vocally and as a songwriter” says McNown. “I love the folk-blues slide guitar solos, and we tried to be honest and heartfelt with the lyrics. It's a love song but with that classic soulful feel you get from Lamontagne and maybe Chris Stapleton too who is another big influence on me.”
The new release follows McNown’s recent performance of his breakout hit ‘A Lot More Free' during NBC’s 3rd Hour of ‘TODAY', where he also announced his brand new ‘Forever Ain’t Long Enough' tour hitting cities across North America, and kicking off 21st August in Kansas City. This follows the announcement of McNown’s UK/European headline tour, set for December.
