NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Standout Country star Kameron Marlowe has made a habit of kicking vices, but loving his fiancée is an addiction he’s never giving up. In “Quit You,” out now, the “sterling vocalist” (MusicRow) ushers in a new chapter for his fans to join, as he gives listeners an intimate glimpse at his love story and the “overpowering, intoxicating feelings that can arise from love” (The Tennessean). Released today in a surprise drop, the new single written by Marlowe, James McNair and John Pierce follows his critically acclaimed duet with Ella Langley, “Strangers” whose video dropped earlier this week.
“This is my follow up to ‘Giving You Up,’” shares Marlowe. “The first line, at ’20 years old I kicked those cigarettes, the same year me and whiskey took a break’ is the hook of ‘Giving You Up,’ but rewritten to modern day of how I got where I am today. This is the space I was in before I met Meagan when I was looking for something to fill the void of finding myself. Now, I’m addicted to her love more than I’m addicted to anything else. She makes me a better person, she grounds me and I am thankful for her love. I found myself through finding someone who understands me and loves me for all my faults. All the things I had been trying to quit like nicotine or cutting back on drinking, she’s my addiction. It’s the perfect love song.”
“Quit You” is a delicate tribute to his fiancée that purposely calls on the familiarity of his breakthrough hit, “Giving You Up,” initially exploring the vices he had consulted when heartbroken. Intriguingly swerving from the idea of letting go of addictions, he’s now instead, fully embracing the healthy one that he’s found in her. Showering awestruck praise on her unconditional love and the positive impact that she’s made on his life, this love song continues to open his next chapter with a very endearing look at who Marlowe is today through a snapshot lens of growth and maturity.
Hot on the heels of the highly-anticipated release of “Strangers” with Ella Langley, the powerhouse duo carries the momentum over to a fiery new music video to put the soul-stirring duet into visuals, released this past Wednesday. Of the sizzling collaboration, Billboard says the pair “offers a mighty vocal pairing” as their “octave-jumping talents push the other’s to ever-heightened moments of angst.”
In this visually compelling music video directed by Patrick Tohill, Marlowe and Langley’s mesmerizing harmonies take center stage as they navigate the intricate dynamics of friendship, romance and the eerie feeling of drifting apart. Set against the backdrop of a moody restaurant, the video gradually builds tension, mirroring the escalating emotions of the narrative. As the intensity mounts, so does the fire around them, symbolizing the passionate yet destructive nature of their relationship. In the end, they’re left alone, grappling with the aftermath of their own downfall.
A streaming and vocal powerhouse with over 860M total global streams to date, Marlowe begins 2024 as MusicRow’s Next Big Thing, reinforcing previous acclaim from Opry’s NextStage, CMT’s Listen Up, Amazon Music’s One to Watch, Pandora, Spotify and more than a dozen media outlets. He gears up to head down under with Lainey Wilson for her Country On Tour next month and will share his new music on his headlining Strangers Tour with Tucker Wetmore come April. As 2024 shapes up to be his biggest yet, more exciting announcements can be expected very soon.
