Koe Wetzel Surprises Fans With 'Hard Way' Feat. Stephen Wilson Jr.
(EBM) Ahead of tonight's penultimate show of The Night Champion World Tour, Koe Wetzel surprised fans with the release of "Hard Way," rounding out the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed sixth studio album, The Night Champion.
"Hard Way" finds Wetzel teaming up with fellow genre-bending artist Stephen Wilson Jr. for the final addition to the project that has given fans a steady flow of new music since its initial arrival in June. The hard-charging, guitar-forward anthem unites the pair's growling vocals in a rock-fueled tale of lessons learned through a life lived on the edge.
'Cause if you ain't rolling doubles, better listen to what I say / If you wanna get to Heaven, there's gonna be some hell to pay / Some people gotta learn it the hard way
"It's been a hell of a ride with this record, and we weren't quite done yet. Before the sun comes up on The Night Champion, we've got one more song left to play," shares Wetzel. "I've been a fan of Stephen's for a while now, and we got to play a bunch of shows together last year, so I'm fired up to have a song together now, too."
The surprise release arrives as Wetzel continues a career-defining run, with current single "Jaded" feat. Ella Langley Top 10-and-climbing at Country radio and reaching a new peak of No. 18 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
Following this week's conclusion of The Night Champion World Tour, Wetzel reunites with Parker McCollum for the return of their Naughty or Nice Tour, with six sold-out acoustic shows across Texas to celebrate the holiday season.
