Universal Music Publishing Nashville today announced that singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett has been signed to an exclusive, global publishing agreement and has dropped the second single, “Somewhere Between,” off his forthcoming EP, Songs In The Gravel, set for release on March 22nd via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records.
The single comes after Gossett’s critically acclaimed debut EP, No Better Time, which Gossett wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom in Austin, Texas. The EP includes the viral breakout single “Coal,” which has garnered over 150 million global streams to-date and is now Certified Gold in the US. It recently debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 (Gossett’s first career entry) and climbed to #21 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and Top 25 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales Chart, as well as cracked the Top 5 on Spotify’s Global and US Viral 50 Charts.
Roxy King, Director A&R at UMPG Nashville, said: “Gossett has a natural ability to tell meaningful stories in a unique and poetic way. It caught my ear from the get-go. Meeting Dylan is what sealed the deal. He is a star in every sense of the word. I am thrilled to work alongside of Dylan, Range Media Partners, Big Loud Texas, and Mercury Records to help spread Dylan’s words around the world.”
Gossett added: “From my first meeting with Troy Tomlinson, Roxy King, and the UMPG Nashville team, I knew they were the perfect creative partner. They have been passionate supporters of my songs since day one and I could not be more excited to have Roxy and the whole UMPG team in my corner.”
Gossett recently announced his signing to Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records, in partnership with Range Media Partners. The 24-year-old Texan singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has also kicked off his first headline “No Better Time” tour, which is completely sold-out and making stops in London, Dublin, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, and more.
