It’s a sunny day for ERNEST with his brand-new song “Flower Shops (feat. Morgan Wallen)” launching this week as the most added single at Country radio with 88 stations spinning the record now. The Big Loud Records MULTI-PLATINUM artist/songwriter surprise dropped the fan-favorite track on New Year’s Eve, quickly catapulting to #1 at Apple Music Country, Spotify Country, and iTunes overall upon release and now debuting Top 30 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. The melancholic ode was written by ERNEST with Ben Burgess and Mark Holman and produced by Joey Moi. 

"I'm so grateful for the fans and Country radio for getting behind this song so early on," says ERNEST. "It isn't every day that a record gets this kind of response and I couldn't be happier that 'Flower Shops' is getting so much love."

ABOUT ERNEST:
A Nashville native with an unpredictable style and personality to match, hitmaker ERNEST is now turning heads on both sides of the singer-songwriter game – and his career is just getting started. Currently one of the most sought-after co-writers on Music Row, he fuses a broad range of influence stretching from Eminem to George Strait, and has now scored four #1 smashes with Morgan Wallen’s “More Than My Hometown,” Florida Georgia Line’s “I Love My Country,” Chris Lane’s “Big, Big Plans,” and Sam Hunt’s “Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90’s.” A MULTI-PLATINUM hit with Diplo and Wallen’s “Heartless” is also part of his growing catalog, and other notable cuts include Lane’s current single, “Fill Them Boots,” Kane Brown’s “One Mississippi,” FGL’s “Blessings,” and more – including 11 tracks on Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album. As an artist, the eccentric free spirit released his vibrant debut album Locals Only on Big Loud Records in 2019 and followed up with the hand-on-your-heart anthems, “Cheers,” and “American Rust.” He also appeared alongside 90s country legend David Lee Murphy and Big Loud Records labelmate Ben Burgess on the HIXTAPE: Vol. 2 track “Red Dirt Clouds.” His podcast Just Being ERNEST kicked off in the spring of 2020 and has hosted big-name guests including Keith Urban, Diplo, Jason Aldean and more.
