He says that level of honesty is essential for keeping a relationship moving forward. The single also gives a taste of what fans will hear on Kip's upcoming studio album.

Says Kip, "I thought that sort of truth-telling was a good way to set the tone for the new album.  I'm excited about the new path we're taking for this next record."

Kip has been writing for the new project for the past two years, so he had to make some tough decisions about which ones made the album, and which ones got cut.

He explains, "It has turned out to be a totally different record than the one I set out recording, and I think a better one."

Kip's new single is now available at all digital outlets.

Image Courtesy CMAThomas Rhett has clearly found his calling as a country singer and songwriter, judging from his string of hit songs, including his latest top-10, "Make Me Wanna." As the son of '90s country star and current hit songwriter Rhett Akins, Thomas grew up around the music industry, and starting writing songs while attending Lipscomb University in Nashville. That's where he figured out he wasn't cut out for higher education.

"Honestly, I think I switched four different majors in the three short years," Thomas tells the Knoxville News-Sentinel. "I had a year left and I started writing songs and started to get cuts on big artists' records and I thought, ‘Man, if I can write these songs, what do I need college for?'"

Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Lee Brice are among the stars who have recorded Thomas's songs in the past few years. He's currently on the road with Florida Georgia Line's Anything Goes tour. They'll head back out February 12 for a show in Sioux City, Iowa.
