NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 13, 2015) – Since the release of his vibrant new single “Fix,” fans have
been jonesing for more music from Big Loud Records’ Chris Lane and today (11/13), the hot newcomer releases his highly-anticipated debut EP
FIX across all digital retailers. Already abuzz with media
praise for the lead single and title track, “Fix” has garnered early
airplay and is set to impact Country radio on December 7.
Creating his own niche sound within the genre,
Billboard.com reports Lane “pushes the already-stretched boundaries of country even further” and popular site
Taste of Country
selected “Fix” as a Critic’s
Pick praising the “…super-sized, Red Bull-fueled pop-country jam…” Of
note, “Fix” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 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. Impressed by the fan
interaction, radio trade site
All Access
noted, “The first release from the
artist signed to a brand new label in town doesn’t always flood your
social media stream, but when it does, it’s probably because it’s from a
highly-buzzed about…young, dynamic artist.”
Working
with acclaimed producer Joey Moi, Lane discovered his gift for using
falsetto. Showcasing his versatile vocals, “Fix” shaped
Lane’s sonic direction and sent him on a search for songs fit for the
upper register of his vocal range. The result – an addictive and
danceable EP, featuring standout tracks including the romantic escape
“For Her” and the simply titled “Cool,” which cleverly
mines old-school nostalgia. The magnificent “Stolen Car,” with its
infectious “had to have you” refrain, calls to mind the smooth finesse
of Justin Timberlake and the music savvy of Keith Urban, who inspired
Lane to learn the guitar and become an entertainer.
“The
average country fan grew up the same way I did. And guys like Thomas
Rhett, Sam Hunt and Florida Georgia Line did too: listening
to all different kinds of music, especially dance, pop, and country,”
Lane says. “The songs on my EP build on that and lend themselves to
making people want to move. I cannot wait for fans to hear it!”

Watch” lists including
TasteOfCountry.com,

Spotify,
#CMChat, and landed as a Top 5 finalist in Macy’s iHeartRadio
