ZACH CORNELL RELEASES NEW EP “PART 1”
“Back in late ’21 and early ’22, I recorded a collection of songs that mean a great deal to me,” Zach shares. “Part I includes five of those songs, covering a whole lot of ground. There’s heartache, new love, drinking, wandering, and a whole lot more. I guess each song is a different season we’ve all endured at one point or another, along with a couple that pay homage to my honky tonk heroes. But, the best thing about it is that this EP is just genuine, unapologetic country music, which I don’t really think you can fake. I’ve found my voice as an artist and writer, and I’m excited for folks to finally hear it.”

Speaking of the innate chemistry of the collaboration Vic states, “Ty is one of my favorite musicians and people to collaborate with. I pulled up to his studio to give him some of my weed brand 93BOYZ and he was working on a bunch of House music. I’ve been wanting to return to House ever since I made ‘Down On My Luck’ so it just made a lot of sense. Ty had played the guitar line already and it was giving me a surf-rock vibe so I started going a California direction with the lyrics then I programmed some House drums and samples. We were really just smoking and vibing and Eastside Girl is what came out.”
