"End of the World" - an electrified clarion call for unity, community, and revelry in the upside-down world of today - is the latest single from Holcomb's forthcoming albumDragons, due out August 16, 2019 via Thirty Tigers. The track was co-written with fellow Nashville songwriter Sean McConnell (Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw) and forced Holcomb out of his comfort zone and into new vocal and melodic heights: "Sometimes throwing a party is the only way to fight off the darkness, and I wanted it to be an epic, boisterous, raise-your-glass-and-yell-with-me anthem."
"End of the World," which impacts radio this month, joins two other previously released cuts from the album, opener "Family" and title track "Dragons feat. The Lone Bellow." On Dragons, Holcomb embraced collaborating with outside songwriters and featured artists for the first time on a studio album. In addition to Sean McConnell on "End of the World" and The Lone Bellow on "Dragons," the LP also features songwriting and appearances from Lori McKenna, Natalie Hemby, and Ellie Holcomb with production from Cason Cooley.
