Wyatt Flores – Oh Susannah [Music Video]

Rising country artist Wyatt Floresโ€™ new song, โ€œOh Susannah,โ€ is out today alongside a powerful music video.

Reflecting on the song, Flores shares, โ€œThe story behind this song is just me having to take a mental break back in February and coming back to it all realizing that I need to take care of myself before I can even think about taking care of others, and thatโ€™s all I ever wanted to do. So I did have to take a step back and this song is an apology from me to my fans.โ€

โ€œOh Susannahโ€ is the latest track unveiled from Floresโ€™ highly anticipated full-length debut album, Welcome To The Plains, which will be released October 18 on Island Records (pre-order/pre-save here). Ahead of the release, Flores recently shared lead single, โ€œDonโ€™t Wanna Say Goodnight,โ€ which Rolling Stone calls โ€œa powerful, energetic love song,โ€ while Billboard praises, โ€œa sturdy songwriter and vocalist in equal measure. His latest pulses with the raw energy of a full-band sound, thrashing percussion and churning guitars.โ€

Produced by Beau Bedford (Orville Peck, Shane Smith & The Saints) and recorded between Los Angeles and Asheville, Welcome To The Plains details Floresโ€™ journey as he balances the struggle of leaving his hometown of Stillwater, OK with the highs and lows of life on the road. Across these 14 tracks, including songwriting collaborations with Old Crow Medicine Showโ€™s Ketch Secor and Aaron Raitiere, Flores delivers the grounded and sincere storytelling heโ€™s celebrated for, seamlessly blending traditional country and folk sounds.

Of the project, Flores reflects, โ€œItโ€™s an album about home and a search for happiness. Itโ€™s an album about Stillwater, Oklahoma, and all the other little towns that have raised people like you and me. Itโ€™s an album about my family, and the people and places in my life who have defined who I am today. This album is happy on one side and heartbreak on the other, and whoever you are, I hope you find something you love in here.โ€

In celebration of the new music, Flores will embark on his โ€œWelcome To The Plains Tourโ€ this fall, which includes his largest headline shows to date. Upcoming stops include Nashvilleโ€™s historic Ryman Auditorium (two nights), Brooklynโ€™s Brooklyn Paramount, Los Angelesโ€™ Fonda Theatre (sold out), Tulsaโ€™s Cainโ€™s Ballroom (two nights), Bostonโ€™s House of Blues, Atlantaโ€™s The Eastern, Chicagoโ€™s Vic Theatre, Pittsburghโ€™s Stage AE, Washington D.C.โ€™s 9:30 Club and Fort Worthโ€™s Billy Bobโ€™s Texas among many others. See below for complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.wyattfloresmusic.com/tour.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican-American artist has established himself as one of country musicโ€™s most vital voices with his three previous EPs, including Half Life, which was released earlier this spring. Receiving widespread critical attention, The New York Times praised, โ€œWyatt Floresโ€ฆHas a Superpower: Tapping Emotions,โ€ while NPR Music declared, โ€œa fantastic recordโ€ฆhe is making a big splash out thereโ€ and Holler proclaimed, โ€œFlores at his gloriously life affirming, existential best.โ€

Further adding to his breakout year, Flores was named one of Rolling Stoneโ€™s 25 โ€œFuture of Musicโ€ artists, selected as Amazonโ€™s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, included in Spotifyโ€™s Hot Country Class of 2024 and CMTโ€™s Listen Up class, and made his Grand Ole Opry debut earlier this year. Additionally, Flores has garnered over 325 million streams to date, saw his 2022 breakout single, โ€œPlease Donโ€™t Go,โ€ scale the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and had his song โ€œBefore I Doโ€ with Jake Kohn featured on the soundtrack for the new Twisters movie.
