Devin Dawson (Warner Music Nashville/Atlantic)
WHY WE’RE HOOKED: He’s only got three tracks out right now, but it’s already clear that Devin Dawson’s breezy rhythmic take on country music is stealing hearts and will continue to. Single “All on Me”—off the forthcoming Warner Music Nashville/Atlantic debut, produced by Jay Joyce—has racked up more than 12m streams and made it into the Top 3 on Spotify’s U.S. Viral Chart and the Top 5 on the service’s Global Viral Chart. Not to mention it was the Most Added single from a new artist (and second Most Added overall) when it impacted radio 5/1. Dawson—a 2017 VEVO dscvr artist, listed in Entertainment Weekly’s 5 Breaking Big in Country, Rolling Stone’s 10 New Country Artists You Need to Know and CMT’s 17 for 2017 Artists to Watch—recently opened for Maren Morris on her Hero Tour and is joining Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on a selection of key dates this summer. As Taste of Country put it, “His mix of guitar grooves, quick vocals and youth may land him in the pop-country category, but that’s not really fair. His message is as pure as anything the legends have delivered over the decades.”
