The singer, who released his last song just a month ago, revealed he was set to drop new music earlier this week. He told fans on social media: "I wrote 'Alienated' first, and that kind of helped me mold and shape the sound. Even for like the way I wanted to approach the sound of my own voice, and the sonic sound of everything else, like the guitars.

"I don't even know what to call it genre wise, because I don't want to say country, because I don't think it is country, I think it's like my first of like blues. You can't really put them in a genre. They're just influenced by other music, but it's my version of it."

It wasn't long before fans were leaving messages about the amazing new single.

One wrote: 'Your vocals are out of this world for real', with another adding: Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful voice. Fell in love with every second 💗'. (sic)
