April 26, 2013 One of the very first stars I had the opportunity to get to talk to when I was at CRS in Nashville was Tate Stevens. As this was my first time at CRS, I was like a kid in a candy store, but for Tate Stevens, his first CRS after winning Season 2 of The X Factor and preparing to release his first album just months after winning, the candy store must have seemed a whole lot bigger!
Tate Stevens' video for his big ballad 'Power of a Love Song' not only shows off the emotive and twangy voice that won the second season of 'X Factor' last December. It also captures the spirit of young love, which develops into a lifelong romance.
Just days after being announced as the second single from 'Based on a True Story ...,' Blake Shelton's new song 'Boys 'Round Here' will face quite a test. The track is set to go up against three-night Showdown winner Tate Stevens today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio. It's a battle between country singers -- and fans of their respective reality shows.
It's difficult to label Tate Stevens' Friday Showdown win over Justin Moore's new song an upset. After all, the 'X Factor' winner proved he's a fan-favorite by winning the singing competition. The response to 'Power of a Love Song' is still impressive, however. Behind the strength of strong phone call voting, Stevens' debut single survived to find a new challenge today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio.
No lead is safe on the ToC Showdown. Jon Pardi was ahead late into the night last night before Justin Moore fans attacked with heavy online and phone call voting at Taste of Country Nights radio. The result: 'Point at You' is the new Showdown champion. The singer will need support from his fans once again -- perhaps a little earlier -- to knock off 'X Factor' winner Tate Stevens.
Tate Stevens sure has fast-tracked his country career since winning Season 2 of 'X Factor' last December. While Season 1 winner Melanie Amaro deals with a string of flopped singles and no release date in site for her debut album, Stevens is wasting no time at all and is cruising in high gear. He has revealed the track listing and the cover for his self-titled debut, out April 23 via Syco Music/RCA Nashville.
Tate Stevens, 'X Factor' winner and vocalist extraordinaire, has just made an exciting announcement. His self-titled debut album now has a release date, causing all of his fans to holler along with the 'Holler if You're With Me' singer.
Tate Stevens, the winner of the second season of American 'X Factor,' has dropped his new video for 'Holler if You're With Me.' He's wasting no time capitalizing on the big win this past December, and we can't say we blame him. The iron is hot and the time to strike is... NOW! That said, the clip is a hybrid of a music video and a Pepsi commercial, and not his first official single.
February 15, 2013 After winning The X-Factor just two months ago, Tate Stevens didn't waste any time getting to Nashville and getting to work on his first album! Today, we have the first single, 'Power Of A Love Song' as the Q-106.5 Fresh Track of the Day!
'X Factor' winner Tate Stevens plays it safe with his debut country single. 'Power of a Love Song' is a soaring ballad that showcases his vocal talents -- Stevens is a truly fine vocalist -- but prevents him from revealing the slightest bit of personality to those who didn't watch the Fox television show.
