Cole Phillips Unveils New Country Track "Back Full of Feathers"
Cole Phillips, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from Oklahoma, has released his latest single "Back Full of Feathers" on January 24, 2025. This release marks a significant milestone in Phillips' burgeoning music career, which has been gaining momentum since his breakout hit "Drinking Alone" went viral on TikTok and amassed 15 million audio streams in the United States.
Phillips, who signed management representation and record deals with Why&How and Records Nashville in early 2024, is a self-taught musician whose influences span a wide range of genres. His musical style draws inspiration from artists such as Zac Brown, Zach Bryan, Cody Jinks, and David Allan Coe, as well as rock bands like Metallica and Nirvana. This diverse set of influences has contributed to Phillips' distinctive sound, characterized by stripped-back instrumentation and authentic vocals.
In addition to the release of "Back Full of Feathers," Phillips has been recognized as one of the 2025 Tidal Artists to Watch, indicating growing industry recognition of his talent. This accolade, along with his recent signing and viral success, suggests that Phillips is an artist on the rise in the country and Americana music scenes.
Phillips' journey in music began early in life, with his parents exposing him to various genres. This early exposure has clearly influenced his musical development, allowing him to carve out a unique path with his evolving sound. His ability to capture emotion and storytelling in his music has been noted by industry professionals, who have praised his talent as something that "can't be taught".
