Dakota Bradley

Dakota Bradley has released an exclusive track, “Memory Or Me,” to fans via Glamour magazine through the magazine’s website, glamour.com. The song is a sentimental ballad about the struggle of letting go of a former flame. The mag’s Anna Moeslein had this to say about the newcomer: “Commit Dakota Bradley to your memory. He’s cute, talented, and has the support of country-heavyweights—his forthcoming 2013 full-length album is co-produced by Tim McGraw. The 20-year-old is going to be a star, I tell ya.”

Bradley wrote or co-wrote eight of the songs on his upcoming debut CD, including “Cherry Bomb,” a song he penned with Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard.

Tracy Lawrence recently stopped by for a guest appearance on HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade on Thursday (Aug. 29), to discuss his new album Headlights, Taillights, and Radios.
