Micah Fletcher, a rising star in the country music scene, released his latest single "Like a Stone" on January 31, 2025. This emotionally charged track showcases Fletcher's distinctive raspy vocals and his ability to blend modern country sounds with traditional elements.

"Like a Stone" is a deeply introspective song that delves into themes of struggle, mental anguish, and the fight to stay afloat during difficult times. The track, co-written by Fletcher himself, along with Jimmy Thow and Jake Parshall, is particularly impactful in it's lyrical content, with the chorus evoking vivid imagery: "I got a jet-black heart buried under the rubble / Every twist, every turn just leads me to trouble / Fighting for my life, running out of air / Drowning but it’s like nobody cares."

Hailing from Gordonsville, Virginia, the 20-year-old artist has been making waves in the industry with his unique approach to country music. Fletcher's sound is characterized by a fusion of cutting-edge modern songs and mid-2000s country hits, often incorporating classic country instruments like steel guitar into his records.

Prior to "Like a Stone," Fletcher released several other tracks that have garnered attention. In 2024, he released "Good God" and "5 on First," both of which demonstrated his storytelling abilities and engaging rhythms. The previous year saw the release of "When I Drive My Truck" and "The Look in Your Eyes," further establishing Fletcher's presence in the country music landscape.

Fletcher's journey in music began during his teenage years when he fell in love with country music after hearing Brett Eldredge's "The Long Way". This pivotal moment inspired him to start writing his own original songs. He honed his craft by performing at local bars in his hometown, gradually building a fanbase that has since expanded globally through his social media presence.
