Brand New EP ''For You''
Out Now!
Platinum-selling American country band Parmalee, who is set to release their new album For You on July 30, via Stoney Creek Records/BBR Music Group and all streaming platforms. The band is no stranger to success in Canada with their recent track “Just The Way” a collaboration with Platinum-certified TrailerTrap creator, Blanco Brown, hitting the number 1 spot on the Canadian Mediabase Country Charts and the song recently being certified Platinum in Canada as well!
Produced by David Fanning, the 13-track album demonstrates the band’s contemporary sound with classic ingredients, filled with larger-than-life pop hooks, southern storytelling, and the amplified attitude of Rock ‘n’ Roll. In celebration, the band released two new tracks ahead of the release, a fun collaboration “Greatest Hits (Feat. Fitz),” as well as the wildly romantic ode “Take My Name,” which fans have been clamoring to get their hands on for months.
From the anthemic, arena-friendly rush of "Only You" to the rugged romanticism of "Take My Name," For You is country music at its modern-day best. Working with co-writers like Ashley Gorley, Nolan Sipe, and producer David Fanning, Matt Thomas wrote the album based on personal life experiences that are relatable for fans making it not just his story, but everyone’s. The track “Just the Way” is already a multi-national No. 1 hit, and has seen great success reaching more than 300 million streams. Currently, in the Top 25 at Hot AC radio, the song mixes Parmalee's sharp songwriting and vocal harmonies with a modern message of self-love and individuality.
'''Just the Way' connected with so many people," said Matt Thomas. "I think people liked its message, the positivity and the way it made them feel— like it spoke directly to them. That’s when we feel most authentic and our best as a band—when we feel like we’re having a conversation with the audience. That's what For You really focuses on. It's an album for the fans — the ones who've supported us for years, and the new ones we're getting to know every day."
Founded in Parmele, North Carolina, brothers Matt and Scott Thomas grew up surrounded by music as their father was a working musician. Joined by their cousin, Barry Knox, and long-term family friend, Josh McSwain, Parmalee stayed within the family as they began building their career. Nominated for the ACM's "New Vocal Group of the Year,” a multinational, platinum-certified smash of a collaboration with TrailerTrap creator and “The Git Up” star, Blanco Brown, "Just the Way" topped the charts in 2021 and this is just the beginning for them.
As a group, Parmalee has earned success on multiple continents with “Just the Way” landing on Spotify’s Viral 50 Charts in the USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and Norway. The band continued to be on top charts like Shazam, Billboard Canada as well as being RIAA Certified Platinum and ultimately were nominated for Duo/Group Video of the Year by the 2021 CMT Music Video Awards.
''Parmalee have got exactly what fans need right now and that is this brand new EP 'For You' which is their best work yet,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine, host for the International Music's Journey Podcast and radio host at 91.3 FM Bluewater Radio. ''If you are looking for that silver lining for the summer of 2021, you have definitely found it with Parmalee's new EP For You. There isn't one song on this new album that isn't worthy of a single on the radio today. It's just that good. I absolutely love it from start to finish.
