Riding on the success and acclaim of “Don’t Rush,” country music’s favorite adopted pop star, Kelly Clarkson, took to Twitter today to reveal the title and cover art for her new single, “Tie It Up.” Although not much is known about the track (yet), Clarkson will be premiering it at LP Field tonight during her set at CMA Fest.

The cover features Clarkson in a wedding dress and veil, her hand tied to someone else’s. Just a hunch, but we’re thinking this tune has a little something to do with her rumored October wedding to fiance Brandon Blackstock. Stay tuned for more!

He may not be a household name just yet, but Josh Charles is aiming to change that with the release of his new single, “Wasted On Love,” which comes out February 26th. The song will be released via Downhome Records/ THC: Music/Ingrooves/Fontana, and is Charles’s first single since 2011′s critically-acclaimed “Life Ain’t Fair.” The single was written by Charles and legendary songwriter Milton L. Brown, (“Every Which Way But Loose”) and recorded in Nashville’s Moose Lodge Studio.

“I can give up Whiskey, and still feel the buzz. Yeah, girl, I’m still wasted, but I’m wasted on love.” Charles sings in the songs undeniably catchy hook. He describes the track as “a feel-good song describing a man’s descent into Hell and back, with things made right by finding love.” Don’t mistake the song as one for mature audiences only. “It must have universal appeal,” smiles Josh. “Because, at concerts, I’ve seen five and six year olds singing along.”

Single news aside, Josh is bound for Nashville this month to continue recording his hotly anticipated new music. Not to name drop or anything, but Josh will be joined in the studio by super producer and Grammy Award winner, Toby Wright (Alice in Chains, Metallica, The Wallflowers, etc). If that’s not exciting news enough, he’ll also be backed by Rob Byus, Tracy Broussard, Kevin Post and Beau Tackett, also known as Blake Shelton‘s touring band.

We’ll have more exciting Josh Charles news coming up in the next few weeks, so stay tuned to Keepin’ It Country for the latest. In the meantime, you can follow Josh on Twitter, Facebook and visit his official website at www.joshcharlesmusic.com.

Although we’d never wish the weekend away, we’re anxiously looking forward to Monday! It was just announced that George Strait will release his brand new single on Monday, October 29, at 2PM CST. MCA Nashville will release “Give It All We Got Tonight” to country radio on Play MPE.

The single was written by Tim James, Phil O’Donnell and Mark Bright and is the first from Strait’s forthcoming album. Strait once again collaborated with longtime producer, Tony Brown, on the music.

“The song has a very unusual melody and very cool phrasing, which I’ve always been drawn to,” shared Strait.

We’ve got an exclusive sneak peek at the lyrics:

July moonlight shines

Your pretty little head on my shoulder

Pull over on the side of the road

Oh my God, you’re something

Like nothing I’ve ever seen

If I’m asleep girl, let me dream

Baby fall into my kiss

It should just happen like this

Trust it so much that there’s no one else but us and

This moment that says it’s so right

‘Cause that’s all we have in this life

Drink up this love, baby, give it all we got tonight

Summer honeysuckle

Leaking through a rolled down window

We both know when that seat lays back

Anything can happen

So imagine it’ll never end

Just close your eyes and you can see that we are where we’re meant to be

Baby fall into my kiss

It should just happen like this

Trust it so much that there’s no one else but us and

This moment that says it’s so right

‘Cause that’s all we have in this life

Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight

Give it all we got tonight

Baby fall into my kiss

It should just happen like this

Trust it so much that there’s no one else but us and

This moment that says it’s so right

That’s all we have in this life

Drink up this love, c’mon, give it all we got tonight

Give it all we got tonight
