“Sharp, swooning, and all the right kinds of sentimental” (Rolling Stone), blossoming singer/songwriter Madison Kozak mesmerizes listeners with a strong pen and a vulnerable voice. Her breakout debut single, “First Last Name,” not only scored the Belmont alum a publishing deal with Big Loud in 2018, but compelled award-winning songwriter Nicolle Galyon to launch female-driven label Songs & Daughters, and sign Kozak as their flagship artist. In the months following her signings, Kozak graduated with a music business degree, toured the U.S. and Canada with Morgan Evans, Aaron Watson, and Mason Ramsey, and made her Grand Ole Opry debut to a standing ovation. Named to CMT’s 2021 LISTEN UP roster and 2020 Next Women of Country class, the Lindsay, Ontario native was named a country artist to watch by Pandora, Pop Culture, Sounds Like Nashville, and more. Kozak returns with a taste of “a voice that glows and songwriting capability that resonates” (Sounds Like Nashville) on her first new release in over two and a half years, “If We Were A Country Song.”

Flight risk. For most, it’s a term rooted in fear. Fear of getting hurt, fear of commitment, fear of rejection. For Karley Scott Collins, it’s independence. Transformation. Growth. A debut album five years in the making, Flight Risk introduces Collins’ powerful voice in epic manner: heartbreak, acceptance, desire, and jealousy—all threaded together by a self-aware kind of maturity. Across Flight Risk’s 16 tracks, Collins takes the reins and leads the charge. “I’ve experienced so much over the past few years, in relationships and just in growing up and coming into my own as an artist,” Collins shares. “There was a time where I was running just to feel safe, but now, if I’m running, it’s only from things that I know aren’t meant for me. If I run from something now, I’m doing it because I know who I am and what I want, and I know where the exits are when I need to leave a place - or a person - that isn’t right for me.” Collins’ creative fingerprint graces every aspect of the project, where she and Grammy Award-winning collaborator Nathan Chapman co-produced and played nearly every instrument throughout – Collins even picked up banjo, violin and bass during the sessions. She learned how to engineer in the studio, making sure every note was a personal and raw reflection of her journey. Smoky electric guitars match Collins’ lived-in rasp. From start to finish, Collins speaks with the hard-earned wisdom of a soul twice her age, unafraid to lay bare the truths gathered in just 25 years of living, loving and learning.
