NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Kameron Marlowe, hailed as “one of our greatest living Country singers” (MusicRow), offers a heartfelt glimpse into his next chapter with the reflective new track “On My Way Out,” available everywhere today. Serving as the final sneak peek from his forthcoming sophomore album, Keepin’ The Lights On, arriving Friday, May 31, the new ballad brings Marlowe’s powerhouse vocals to the forefront as he thoughtfully examines the regrets he wants to rectify before his time is up and the ‘one more times’ he wants to experience again.
“When I first heard this song, it resonated with me on a deeper level,” shares Marlowe. “As I’ve gotten older, I started to realize how special our time is on this earth and to never take these moments for granted. This song helps remind me to slow down and remember how much I have to be thankful for and all the things I still want to do before my time is up.”
Each release from Marlowe’s sophomore album has offered a look into the artist’s depth and maturity as he navigates life on the road while nourishing the relationships that matter most. With “On My Way Out,” penned by Michael Hardy, Ben Johnson, Hunter Phelps, Taylor Phillips and Bobby Pinson, his evocative vocal trails heartfelt tones around the bends of life and underscore his commitment to leaving behind a meaningful legacy while urging others to do the same.
As Marlowe enters album release month, he’ll head to Frisco, Texas on May 16 to celebrate his first recognition from the Academy of Country Music Awards as a New Male Artist of the Year nominee. He’ll take the main stage at TopGolf at The Colony for ACM Lifting Lives’ LIVE event with headliner Parker McCollum.
Anticipation for Keepin’ The Lights On builds, with Grammy.com dubbing it a “must-hear album in May 2024,” as he prepares to unveil his “smokey, blues-soaked follow-up” (PopCulture) on Friday, May 31. Outfitted with 16 meticulously crafted tracks, including the previously acclaimed singles “Quit You,” the “steamy, well-produced twist of a ballad” (Country Central) “Strangers (with Ella Langley)” and “Tennessee Don’t Mind,” which “highlights Marlowe’s standout vocals, especially his upper register” (Billboard), the forthcoming record promises to showcase his versatility as an artist, offering a blend of moments drenched in honky-tonk rhythm and melody laced with a dusty aura of solid Country gold.
Focused on heart-gripping lyrics that dig into life’s struggles, he exposes the familiarity of heartbreak but positively shifts into the idea of breaking down your walls to let in the one who changes everything. Produced by Dann Huff and featuring writing credits from Kendell Marvel, James McNair, Wyatt McCubbin and more, Keepin’ The Lights On invites listeners into Marlowe’s world – from childhood to modern day – offering a transparent showcase of growth, maturity and most importantly, a lifetime of fulfilling promises. It’s a journey that dives deep into the human experience, touching on themes of mental health, battling feelings of inadequacy and the relentless pursuit of success. Come May 31, Marlowe will wear his heart on his sleeve, revealing vulnerability in a way he’s never done before.
