The Virginia-born singer-songwriter was on a roll, having exploded onto the scene with her debut album Reckless and nabbing nominations from the Academy of Country Music and the Americana Music Association as her song “Wilder Days” became a hit. At the same time, she was reaching a point of exhaustion from nonstop touring and having to deal with a barrage of intense media scrutiny. She wondered if it was all worth it.
“I had all this stuff coming up, and it was such a weird, dark time that I was going through,” says Wade. “Then I sat down with a guitar and started writing songs. They were just coming to me left and right.” This bountiful period of creation is captured on Obsessed, Wade’s third full-length album and the follow-up to Psychopath, which arrived less than a year ago in August 2023. Produced by Wade’s touring guitarist Clint Wells with every song penned by Wade, the 14-track project pares things back to the essence of who she is as a musician, storyteller, and human. It’s Wade at her rawest and most vulnerable, the way she started out, and a convincing statement that she’s one of country music’s most distinctive talents.
“I really wanted to get back to doing what I used to do,” she says. “Just make this whatever the fuck I wanted it to be. For me, it’s a miracle record, which makes sense with where I was at mentally.”
Aidan Canfield
Canfield’s artistry infuses a unique combination of Rock and Country influences from the sounds that he grew up on–a little bit of Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen, a little bit of Kenny Chesney meets Zach Bryan. His heartfelt lyrics and melodies have struck a chord of relatability he’s witnessed on the road on support dates with Riley Green and, most recently, the Cameron Sacky Band.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Aidan used the time to discover his passion for playing the guitar, and he started singing and writing songs. In two short years, he started growing a following on social media platforms and released his first single, “The Idea Of Me,” in April of 2022. Since then, Aidan has released six additional singles, an album and his music has nearly 3 million streams. Aidan’s heartfelt lyrics and melodies are what make his music relatable to his fans.
