Over the last few years, country singer-songwriter Tyler Hubbard, formerly of musical duo Florida Georgia Line, has reestablished himself as one of the biggest solo artists in the genre.

To date, Tyler has released a whopping 22 No. 1 singles on country radio, and he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down—especially with his new Apple Music Nashville Sessions.

Released on Aug. 6, the three-track EP is a collaboration between Apple Music and Tyler Hubbard, recorded live in Spatial Audio at the Apple Music studio in Nashville, Tennessee.

It begins with a genre-bending cover of The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," reinventing the 2020 hit with a rousing country twist, followed by two of Tyler's fan-favorite tracks—"Turn" and "Me for Me"—recorded live. Click HERE to give the session a listen, exclusively at Apple Music.
