KAMERON MARLOWE RELEASES NEW TAKE ON “GIVING YOU UP” AND COVER OF “FOLSOM PRISON BLUES” FOR SPOTIFY SINGLES
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (For immediate release) – Columbia Nashville breakout rising star and 2021 Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch Kameron Marlowe has released his inaugural Spotify Singles recording. Listen here.
Recorded in Nashville, Side A is a stripped-down, piano-driven rework of his self-penned debut release and heartbreak anthem, “Giving You Up.” Side B is an impassioned, bluesy cover of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” showing off Marlowe’s arena-ready powerhouse vocals, while putting a twist on the classic tune.
“I chose to cover ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ because Johnny Cash is one of my all-time heroes. To me, he is the Godfather of country music, and I have always had nothing but respect for how his sound and songwriting have influenced so many artists, myself included,” said Marlowe. “And I decided to re-work ‘Giving You Up’ because I wanted to try something new. That song will always hold a special place in my heart, and it’s fun for me to try different styles every once in a while.”
Driving more than five billion streams since the program began in 2016, Spotify Singles was created to give artists an opportunity to record new versions of their own songs, the songs of the artists they love, or an original song.
