Casey Barnes continues his hot streak with the brand new album, ‘Light It Up’ debuting #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album chart and #3 on the All-Genre Australian Album chart. Featuring the smash hit singles “Come Turn Me On”, “God Took His Time On You” and “Get To Know Ya”, it is the follow up to the hugely successful album ‘Town of A Million Dreams’ which was released in March 2020 – which also hit the top spot on the ARIA Australian Country Album chart and was nominated for an ARIA Award for Country Album of the Year, an APRA Award for Country Work of the Year and four x 2021 Golden Guitar Award nominations. ‘Town Of A Million Dreams’ has spent over 80 weeks on the ARIA Australian Country Album chart to date and Casey’s catalogue has amassed over 30 million combined streams, making him one of the highest streamed artists in Australian country music today.
Produced by Melbourne based production team MSquared (Michael Delozrenzis and Michael Paynter), ‘Light It Up’ features ten new original songs, all co-written by Casey with MSquared and Nashville based singer/songwriters Kaci Brown and Sam Gray.
Executive Director of Chugg Music, Michael Chugg AM, commented, “Casey’s rise over the last two years has been impressive, with mainstream radio now coming on board and a growing fanbase in international markets. ‘Light It Up’ will be his biggest album and tour yet and the Chugg Music team are proud to be taking Casey’s music to the world.”
