The Next Wave: Maddox Batson and the Rise of Gen Z Country-Pop

Maddox Batson is growing up in real time—and country-pop is growing with him.

Whether it’s his soulful voice, heartfelt lyrics, or genre-bending sound that blends country roots with mainstream pop polish, Batson is clearly on a fast track—and “No More” proves why.

The emotional new track, out now, takes a fearless dive into heartbreak and healing, backed by an explosive chorus and his signature vulnerability.

“It’s about finally having the strength to walk away,” Batson explains.

His debut year is already the stuff of Nashville dreams—an Opry debut, a Stagecoach appearance, and a nod from NBC Nightly News and Forbes alike. But it’s the connection Batson builds through his music, especially with a Gen Z audience, that’s turning heads.

With the I Need A Truck Tour kicking off in September and dates supporting Lainey Wilson, Batson is emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in the country-pop space.
