Dolly Parton, \u201cButterfly\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tParton has long proven she\u2019s exemplary at teaming with artists for inspiring collaborations, from her Brad Paisley collab \u201cWhen I Get Where I\u2019m Going,\u201d to her Grammy-winning collabs with For King & Country and Zach Williams. Here, she teams with Zac Brown Band for an uplifting, soulful collaboration, with tightly-woven harmonies and lush strings, while Parton\u2019s shimmering soprano is a perfect foil for Brown\u2019s grainy, powerful voice. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to practice anything that they preach,\u201d they sing, coming together on a song about accepting one\u2019s self and being unafraid to break free from unhealthy situations in a quest for peace.<\/p>\n \n\tBrandi Carlile, \u201cReturning to Myself\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tCarlile, an 11-time Grammy winner, previews her first solo album in four years, with this gorgeous title track. \u201cReturning to Myself\u201d ponders the benefits and costs of shifting from collaboration to self-focused efforts. \u201cOh, what an easy way to be\/ Only kneeling at the altar of the great and mighty me,\u201d Carlile sings, considering the heightened emotional merits of loving and helping those around oneself, but also the essentialness of prioritizing oneself. Along the way, it seems she finds that the two may not be mutually exclusive, as she sings, \u201cReturning to myself is just returning me to you.\u201d Carlile has spent the past few years as a key collaborator with artists including Joni Mitchell, Tanya Tucker and Elton John. Returning To Myself <\/em>is out Oct. 24 via Interscope Records and Lost Highway.<\/p>\n \n\tJackson Dean, \u201cMake a Liar\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \n\tWith his song \u201cHeavens to Betsy\u201d riding in the top 15 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Country Airplay chart<\/a>, Dean releases this groovy track finds him feigning indifference to an ex-lover on lines such as \u201cI don\u2019t want you to want me\/ You ain\u2019t what I need,\u201d but eventually those defensive walls crumble as he dares his ex to prove him wrong. Written by Dean with Luke Dick and Randy Montana, the new song has a slinky, sultry vibe, while showcasing Dean\u2019s superb, soulful vocals.<\/p>\n \n\tEmily Ann Roberts, \u201cJack and Jill Daniel\u2019s\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
