Country music’s rising star Wyatt Flores has released his new EP, “Half Life,” today through Island Records. You can stream or purchase it here. Check out “Running Out Of Time” above.
Wyatt Flores has been garnering critical acclaim recently. He was the subject of an in-depth profile by journalist Josh Crutchmer in The New York Times, which highlighted Flores’ unique ability to evoke deep emotional responses with his music. The article titled, “Wyatt Flores…Has a Superpower: Tapping Emotions,” notes that the 22-year-old singer-songwriter’s music profoundly impacts its listeners.
The EP “Half Life” consists of eight tracks, including the previously released “Milwaukee” and “Wish I Could Stay.” The latter song was featured by Rolling Stone in their “Songs You Need To Know” list, and Billboard has praised Flores’ blend of slide guitars and piano paired with his natural, conversational singing style that seamlessly transitions from rock-infused urgency to classic country twang.
This release marks a monumental year for Flores, identified by Rolling Stone as one of their 25 “Future of Music” artists. His achievements this year have significantly boosted his career trajectory. Moreover, Flores has been named Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, featured in Spotify’s Hot Country Class of 2024 and CMT’s Listen Up roster, and made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry.
To celebrate his new music, Flores is set to lead his “Here There & Gone” tour this summer. He will perform at notable venues including The Intersection in Grand Rapids, The Windjammer on Isle of Palms, Denver’s Ogden Theatre, The Knitting Factory in Boise, Ace of Spades in Sacramento for two nights, and the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. Additionally, Flores will appear at several major festivals this year such as Stagecoach, Hangout, CMA Fest, Windy City Smokeout, and others. See below for the complete list of tour dates.
