Inspired by the famous whiskey, the EP packs a punch you can\u2019t ignore. All seven songs were co-written and co-produced by Redferrin himself \u2013 an important ingredient to the full-bodied project. The White House, Tennessee native was able to kick off the release in a big way last Thursday with a\u00a0<strong>SOLD-OUT<\/strong>\u00a0show at Exit\/In, his very first headlining hometown show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cmni.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/old-no.-7-ep-cover-676x676.jpeg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty cool pairing and a really cool vibe, and it feels like all seven songs are really me,\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>said Redferrin.&nbsp;<em>\u201cI\u2019m talking about White House, Tennessee, and I\u2019m talking about my favorite whiskey. It\u2019s real stories about real heartbreaks. I poured my heart into this music. Honestly can\u2019t believe it\u2019s all happening; this is a dream come true. A sold-out hometown show the night before I drop my first project. Definitely a week I will never forget.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Old No. 7<\/em>\u00a0opens with &#8216;<strong>Jack and Diet Coke&#8217;<\/strong>, the initial inspiration of the EP\u2019s overall theme. Redferrin\u2019s biggest song yet, it charted on Spotify\u2019s Viral 50 (US) and has surpassed 30 million global streams. &#8216;<strong>Lose Her For Nothin\u2019&#8217;<\/strong>, a moody, thoughtful vocal number, was actually inspired by Redferrin\u2019s late mother \u2013 a daily reminder to keep his promises. The dedications continue with &#8216;<strong>She\u2019s Like Whiskey&#8217;<\/strong>, inspired by his dog Mellow.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe spent our final days with her in an airstream at the distillery and I wrote this song about the fun we had the last month of her life, and the hurt I knew was on the way,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>described Redferrin. The singer-songwriter leaned into his rock roots on tracks &#8216;<strong>Just Like Johnny&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0and &#8216;<strong>Champagne In The Morning&#8217;<\/strong>. The collection also features previously released tracks &#8216;<strong>Miss Summer&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0and &#8216;<strong>Doin\u2019 Life&#8217;<\/strong>, the latter of which is Redferrin\u2019s most personal song to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_94946\"  width=\"676\" height=\"380\"  data-origwidth=\"676\" data-origheight=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OBM5hkxDt3o?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2024 Amazon Breakthrough Artist To Watch is originally known as a collaborator, co-writing tracks for Florida Georgia Line such as &#8216;Lil Bit&#8217; (featuring Nelly), &#8216;New Truck&#8217;, &#8216;Countryside&#8217; and more, plus a record-breaking Canadian #1, &#8216;Can\u2019t Help Myself&#8217; by Dean Brody &amp; The Reklaws. His artistic career is now in a lane all on its own, having already racked up over 60 million global streams. No longer sending his best songs away, Redferrin is all-in on his artistic vision. The man behind the scenes is now stepping into the spotlight and it\u2019s about time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFor a long time I\u2019ve been writing for reactions,\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>he explains.&nbsp;<em>\u201cI wanted my publisher to say \u2018good song,\u2019 or I hoped an artist would cut the song. But once I didn\u2019t have anybody to turn a song into anymore, I was just writing for myself and the songs got a lot better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born Blake Redferrin, the rising star is bursting onto the scene as one of Nashville\u2019s most unique and innovative new artists. Living just 30 miles north of Music City, he spent his first 24 years on the pegs of a dirt bike, chasing high-speed dreams with the throttle pinned and no kill switch. He earned a professional ride by the time he was 18 and joined the national Arenacross circuit. But crashes and injuries are a constant companion in racing, and they eventually catch up with everyone, so he began exploring the idea of changing direction. The singer-songwriter is currently on the road with Niko Moon on tour and will join Billy Currington in the spring in addition to several festivals and a trip overseas to C2C.
