Wait On You

The Steel Wheels

😊

In the opening moments of The Steel Wheels' new album, frontman and songwriter Trent Wagler sings, "This year hit like a hurricane. The winds knocked me down." From the jump, you understand that this record represents a series of poignant realizations for the long-running Virginia-based folk band. Those lines appear in the opening track "Wait On You."

An anthemic track with arena-ready drums and smooth banjo, "Wait On You" was featured on Relix, who said, "As the sails of 'Wait On You' unfurl, they bond and harmonize over the lyric 'They're not gonna wait on you' before Wagler takes the lead with words of wisdom that move the ship forward."

Let Him In Anyway

Blake Shelton

😊

Blake Shelton begs God to forgive him in his powerful new ballad, "Let Him in Anyway," but not for himself.

"Let Him In Anyway" finds the narrator turning to God, trying to intervene on behalf of a friend who was "starting to listen" and "feeling convicted" after he took him to church but didn't achieve redemption before his time on Earth was up.

He's still not ready to give up on his friend getting into heaven, as Shelton sings in the chorus:

"Hey God / I know You know what I'm 'bout to pray, God / I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend / And I never wanna see him again / And I know the only way in is through You / And he wasn't exactly the Christian he was supposed to be / And Lord, it's not my place / But could You let him in anyway?"

"Let Him in Anyway" is one of twelve new songs on Shelton's upcoming album, For Recreational Use Only, scheduled for release on May 9.

Hardy co-wrote the song with Zach Abend, Kyle Clark, and Carson Wallace.

"'Let Him in Anyway' is one of the most powerful songs I've ever had the opportunity to record," Shelton said in a press release. "Hardy is a co-writer and a friend, and I'd never heard a song like this. When I first heard it, I knew it was something special. It's an honor to bring it to life, and I'm incredibly proud of the record we made."
