MUMBAI: Rising country star and ABC’s American Idol winner Laine Hardy’s song “Tiny Town,” which has already garnered over 2 million audio and video streams, officially impacts Country radio this week as his debut single. Written by Michael Tyler and produced by Michael Knox (Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett), the down-to-earth lyrics ring with humble honesty coming from the Livingston, Louisiana (pop. 2,000) native.
As a bonus to fans anxiously awaiting more new music from Laine, he is also releasing a brand-new track called “Other LA” out Friday, October 9! This new song follows current single “Tiny Town,” and previously released songs “Ground I Grew Up On,” and “Let There Be Country.” Written by Laine along with Andy Sheridan, Erik Dylan, and Dan Isbell, “Other LA” gives fans a glimpse into Laine’s journey with Idol.
“When all the hustle & bustle of the show was going on, I just missed some of the comforts from home. I love LA and being out there, but sometimes I miss my Other LA. Can’t keep a country guy locked in the city for too long.”
