Michael Warren Serves Up “Another Round” Tuesday, January 10th
| |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 5, 2023) — Michael Warren delivers “Another Round,” the second single from his forthcoming (February 7) EP What’s Country To You, on Tuesday, January 10.
Warren says, "'Another Round' is the first outside song I ever recorded. It made its way to me through a publisher friend in Nashville and the first time I heard it I knew it would fit with my vocal tone, but what struck me the most is the way it took me back to a place I think a lot of people will relate to: the first time you ever felt real love. When you just want to spend as much time as you can with that person and you stay out way too late together just because you didn't want the night to end. When you hear 'Another Round' it takes you back to that feeling and those memories."
“Another Round” follows Warren’s first single, “What’s Country To You,” which was released October 21, 2022. The music video debuted on CMT — watch it here.

About Michael Warren:
Michael Warren’s unwavering quest for country music stardom will take him through America’s small and college towns, where he will unquestionably bring new fans into the genre he’s loved since he was a kid growing up outside of Birmingham, AL. After playing more than 200 shows a year for almost a decade and writing songs in Los Angeles for A-listers like Jennifer Lopez and Akon, he found his way back to his home along the Interstate 65 corridor, where he now splits time between Birmingham and Nashville.
Warren’s four-song EP What's Country To You, recorded in Music City, reflects his ability to channel his love of “Southern things” — “faith, family, friends, Bass Pro Shop, football, barbecue, hard work” — into songs that are as danceable in a honky tonk bar as on a Spring Break mix tape. These are not R&B songs that err in the direction of country music via instrumental or production choices. Instead, these are veritable country songs that bear the ability to translate the soulful flourishes from contemporary influences like Jason Aldean, John Mayer, and Rascal Flatts.
Warren reimagines these influences from the perspective of his unique upbringing, which exposed him to equal parts Southern rap icons like Master P, to classics like James Taylor, Bob Marley, and Garth Brooks (who led him to the acoustic guitar). His tastes haven’t deviated much as an adult. His proudly Southern, guitar-loving, rock-ready music fits effortlessly alongside contemporary country artists like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and Darius Rucker.

“The DISCovery award goes to Michael Warren. He’s a Birmingham native who’s written pop tunes for the likes of Toni Braxton, Jennifer Lopez and Akon. But his southern roots shine through on ‘What’s Country to You.’ ... Jaunty and charming. He bops through the countryfied lyric with verve and smiles while the guitars ring and chime. Add this."
