Platinum-selling, award-winning country artist\u00a0Tebey<\/strong>\u00a0unveils his vibrant, country twist to Maroon 5’s global hit ‘Payphone<\/strong><\/a>‘. Available for streaming today, his reimagined version injects the pop classic with a lively, twangy energy, seamlessly transforming it into a country hit.\u00a0Blending upbeat banjo picking and Tebey’s signature vocal tone,\u00a0the track adds a fun, foot-tapping layer to the familiar story of lost love \u2014 proving that great music knows no genre boundaries.
“Maroon 5 has long been one of my favourite bands, and if I was going to cover one of their songs, it was definitely going to be Payphone<\/em>,” shares Tebey.\u00a0“Not every song can transcend genres. It has to have a melody (and lyric) that can stand on its own two feet, no matter how it’s sung or produced. Payphone has both, and that’s why it was so fun for me to turn it country.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Building his reputation as one of the most innovative and versatile artists in today’s country genre, ‘Payphone’ isn’t the first countrified cover that Tebey has released\u00a0\u2014 his CCMA Award winning\u00a0country re-imagination of ‘Blinding Lights<\/strong><\/a>‘ took social media by storm earlier this year after Tebey released a short clip on his channels, which led to over\u00a013 million\u00a0views\u00a0in just one week. His unique country twist on the acclaimed, record-breaking pop song rapidly captured the attention of users worldwide, leading to the official DSP release in a matter of days, and has since garnered over\u00a015 million streams\u00a0worldwide and over\u00a075 million impressions\u00a0across social platforms. The track has now been added to\u00a0country radio in over 15 countries and won Innovative Campaign of the Year at the 2024 CCMA Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
