Big Yellow Dog Music’s independent label will soon have another album release under its belt, with the release of R&B singer Shy Carter‘s Tha Fountain of Juice, Vol. 1 on Friday (Sept. 15). Carter wrote and produced all 10 songs on the album.
“It makes me happy when I listen to it because I put everything good in it that I could find,” says the New York-based singer/songwriter/producer. “I tried to filter it out like some good pure clean water and, to me, it’s like an organic anti-depressant pill.”
Carter is known as a co-writer behind songs including Charlie Puth’s “One Call Away,” the Tim McGraw/Faith Hill duet “Speak To A Girl,” and Rob Thomas’ “Someday.” In 2015, Carter’s single “Bring It Back” (ft. Aleon Craft) on Latium/RCA Records earned nearly 4 million streams on Spotify.
Carter’s release is the latest in a lengthy list of albums, EPs and singles released from Big Yellow Dog’s independent music label. Maren Morris initially released her single “My Church” via Big Yellow Dog, before signing with Columbia Nashville. Jessie James Decker has released several seasonal singles and EP through Big Yellow Dog. Adam Sanders, who has had No. 1 singles for Cole Swindell and Dustin Lynch, has released music via Big Yellow Dog Music, while artist-writer Keelan Donovan released his self-titled EP in June.
