Columbia Nashville artist Tyler Farr released the single “Our Town” on Friday (Sept. 16). Written by Liz Rose, Nathan Chapman and Seth Ennis, the single impacts country radio on Sept. 26.
It’s the lead single from Farr’s upcoming third album, due early 2017. The project was produced by Jim Catino and Julian King, who also produced Farr’s first two albums for the label.
“It’s been an interesting year for me with having to take time off after my micro-laryngeal surgery, but taking that time not only was a huge benefit for my voice, it was a benefit to my spirit. I had time to think, actually sit down and watch the news and see what is happening out there,” says Farr.
He adds, “I saw that the world today isn’t the same one that I remember from my youth, back before I left my own hometown, and it got me thinking. Man, there’s a lot of anger, hate and straight-up disrespect for others that seems to show no end. That doesn’t sit well with me. Where did faith, hope and love go? In my town I see constant reminders of how life used to be, and I miss that. It’s not all bad, I still do see some good things happening and I hope with ‘Our Town’ my fans can take a second and share that feeling and conviction with me, because buddy it’s strong.”
