Title - Strong [Vinyl LP]
Artist - Ian Flanigan
For those unaware, Reviver Records recording artist and The Voice’s Season 19 runner-up, Ian Flanigan will be releasing his new album Strong on September 2nd, 2022.
For the last decade, troubadour Ian Flanigan has toured his whiskey-soaked voice and evocative lyrics across America, with a country sound reminiscent of Joe Cocker and Chris Stapleton.
In 2020, Flanigan was a celebrated finalist on NBC’s The Voice, finishing third as the representative from Team Blake. The country music world has since tapped him as an up-and-coming artist to watch.
Flanigan has since then, continued to tour as direct support to Trace Adkins and Chris Janson, he has released his debut single, “Grow Up” featuring Blake Shelton (over 1.2 million streams), he represents Taylor Guitars and KICKER AUDIO, gains exposure as a Reviver Publishing writer in Nashville and looks forward to releasing his debut album in 2022 on Reviver Records.
Containing all his now popular singles - such as “Grow Up” featuring Blake Shelton, “Under A Southern Sky”, “Last Name On It” and more - much like all those singles did, his new album Strong has already become a staple on the country album charts.
Side A:
1. As Far As Love Goes
2. Help Me Drink This Wine
3. Under A Southern Sky
4. Home Sweet Home
5. Shine Like The Moon
6. Strong
Side B:
7. Grow Up (feat. Blake Shelton)
8. Devil In My Hands
9. Last Name On It
10. The Quiet
11. Shine Again
This beautifully crafted, wholesome and heartfelt new album opens on the smoothly free wheeling As Far As Love Goes and the mid-tempo balladry of Help Me Drink This Wine and they are followed by the foot-tapping rhythms within Under A Southern Sky, the forthright appeal of Home Sweet Home, this first vinyl side rounding out on the majestic country-pop bounce roll of Shine Like The Moon and the stand out ballad Strong.
The second side opens on the hauntingly ethereal, at times, shimmeringly euphoric the next, country balladry of Grow Up (featuring Blake Shelton) and that is itself backed by my own personal favorite, the uproarious Devil In My Hands, then comes the joyous hand clapping hipsway of Last Name On It, the side, and the album, coming to a close on the shining beam of an aching yearn within The Quiet and then the upbeat, mid-tempo rocker Shine Again.
