The 28-year-old is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and he grew up on a mixture of Country and rock music. He released his debut album \u2018Still Bleeding\u2019 in 2024 and 2025 saw him follow that up with EP \u2018Home Sweet Hell\u2019. Ready to start a new chapter, Snell today releases new EP \u2018Colors\u2019, a set of 7 songs that he co-wrote all of.<\/p>\n<p>For \u2018Colors\u2019 Snell has worked with some of the best writers in Nashville including Laura Veltz, Jimmy Robbins and Jaxson Free, as well as fellow artists Tucker Beathard and Larry Fleet. Described as Snell\u2019s \u2018most vulnerable, unguarded project yet\u2019, \u2018Colors\u2019 wastes no time getting personal on opening track \u201cDaddy\u2019s Eyes\u201d. As someone who has had a difficult relationship with his father, this song struck me pretty hard. Snell sings about the differences between himself and his father, as well as acknowledging the similarities, but maintains that he isn\u2019t going to follow in his footsteps. It\u2019s a powerful and raw statement, and the best song on this collection.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Austin Snell - Circles (Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j5kIuo1C90w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Across the EP, Snell is unflinchingly honest. He\u2019s always been public about his own battles and those are the bedrock of this set of songs. \u2018Everything But OK\u2019 leans into a commercial Country\/rock sound, providing one of the most obvious radio hits here. Snell\u2019s voice has a grit and an edge that suits this kind of production well, and there\u2019s plenty of emotion in there. \u2018Circles\u2019 explores the destructive cycle that we allow ourselves to get into, and the frustration of being able to break out of that radiates from the lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My Favourite Scar\u2019 is a little Keith Urban if he allowed himself to be a little less polished, while \u2018You Being You\u2019, one of the three songs released ahead of the EP, fits perfectly into mainstream Country radio with a thumping beat and a catchy refrain. \u2018Have It All\u2019 is one of the gentler tracks included here and there\u2019s some really good vocal layering in the production. The instrumentation is minimal, allowing the spotlight to fall squarely on Snell\u2019s abilities as a vocalist. The EP closes with \u2018Colors\u2019, a song that builds slowly and offers a little optimism after 6 songs that explore darker material.<\/p>\n<p>Austin Snell really steps into his own with \u2018Colors\u2019. I feel like he\u2019s a name I\u2019ve been hearing for a couple of years now and this is the first time his music has really grabbed me. There\u2019s depth and range here, and the Country\/rock blend is one that suits him well. \u2018Colors\u2019 is the strongest collection of songs from Snell to date and it could well put him on the path to bigger and better things. If you\u2019re on the lookout for the next big thing, you might find what you\u2019re looking for in Snell. \u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: River House Artists \/ Warner Records Nashville<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Track listing:<\/strong> 1.
