I have a real treat for you. Rising Texas star Paul Cauthen has unveiled his new track, Black on Black and it hits hard! The song is the title track off his forthcoming album which will be released this fall on Anemoia Records/Atlantic Records. Pre-save the album here.

His deep soulful baritone voice is infectious and has earned him the nickname Big Velvet. He grew up singing in church choirs as well as a part of a tightknit creative community in East Texas.

Paul Cauthen’s voice bears a striking resemblance to Johnny Cash’s, so much so that I almost believed I was listening to a lost recording or something. However as the song progressed, it became clear that Cauthen is forging his own distinct musical identify and I am 100% here for it!

Check out the song/video here:

Cauthen comments about the album,

“Been working on this record for a few years now. A ton of folks helped make this happen. Cannot wait for this to hit the world. I truly believe these songs even me out. It’s all of me. Black on Black is about being persistent. Love of the song. Having Faith in the gifts God gave ya. Save it, click it, download it, screen shot it, frame it, spin it. God bless.”

The track comes hot on the heels of a landmark few months for Cauthen, who brought out Lana Del Rey to duet on “Unchained Melody” at his Stagecoach set and features on Shaboozey’s “Last of my Kind” off of Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

 

Black on Black was written over the last several years during Paul’s travels across America on his motorcycle and in the tour bus, and recorded at Rosewood Studios in Cauthen’s hometown, Tyler, TX, with longtime collaborator Jason Burt (John Mayer, Leon Bridges).

 

The album features the recently released “Hot Damn,” which debuted this spring alongside a video shot on location at Rosewood and featuring Cauthen flexing his signature baritone in larger than life looks by his wife and stylist, Elizabeth Cauthen.
