As the sun blazes high and summer playlists come alive, Logan Garrett delivers a fiery new release, "Take Me Down", featuring powerhouse vocalist Madeline Edwards. Blurring the lines between country, EDM, and house music, the track is a bold testament to the producer and DJ’s genre-defying artistry.
"With this record, we wanted to focus on emotions that come with refusing to give up on something that’s meant for you, being persistent / fighting for what one wants in life," Garrett tells All Country News. "Madeline is an exceptional performer, the fearless, raw emotion that she contributes to this record makes the balance between energies feel incredible.”
Garrett, known for his seamless ability to blend pulsating electronic beats with the grit of country instrumentation, leans fully into this signature fusion on "Take Me Down." The steel guitar’s haunting twang juxtaposed with hypnotic synth waves and deep basslines creates a soundscape both nostalgic and electrifying. It’s a sonic frontier where honky-tonk meets the neon glow of late-night dance floors. The track doesn’t just invite listeners to move—it demands it, with its infectious rhythm and dynamic layering that keep the energy surging from start to finish.
Madeline Edwards, a rising force in country music and an Opry Next Stage artist, brings raw emotion and soul to the track. Her vocals, drenched in passion and conviction, cut through the production with the urgency of someone fighting for what they love. She delivers each line with an aching intensity, making every word feel like a plea, a promise, or a battle cry. The track’s lyrics echo that sentiment, telling a story of relentless desire and the lengths one will go to hold onto something meaningful. It’s the kind of song that makes you feel something deep in your chest, whether you’re on the dance floor or driving down an empty road at midnight, lost in thought.
“It's like if Rihanna and Shaboozey and Etta James and Avicii and Natasha Bedingfield had a big ol orgy baby. If this isn’t on the top of every hot girl’s peloton playlist, I will rage," Edwards tells All Country News.
Born from the pulse of Nashville’s nightlife, "Take Me Down" is an anthem for summer nights, perfect for both high-energy festival crowds and introspective solo drives under moonlit skies. It’s a thrilling collision of past and future—traditional roots meeting digital innovation in a way that feels utterly fresh. Garrett’s production doesn’t just complement Edwards’ voice; it elevates it, crafting an atmosphere that feels expansive and immersive, as though the song is meant to soundtrack both intimate moments and grand adventures alike.
With "Take Me Down", Logan Garrett and Madeline Edwards are proving that country music’s evolution has no limits. The song is not just a blend of genres—it’s a movement, a signal that the future of country may just have a little more bass and a whole lot more glow. It’s proof that music doesn’t have to fit neatly into a single box to resonate.
Instead, it thrives in the in-between spaces, where tradition and innovation collide to create something entirely new. This isn’t just a song—it’s an experience, and one that listeners won’t soon forget.
