Eric Paslay is an American country music singer and songwriter, known for his own hit singles and for co-writing numerous chart-topping songs for other prominent artists in the genre. After signing with EMI Records Nashville in 2011, Eric Paslay quickly established himself as a force in country music, first as a prolific songwriter and then as a recording artist. While his initial singles, ‘Never Really Wanted’ and ‘If the Fish Don’t Bite,’ did not break into the Top 40, his third single, ‘Friday Night,’ became a pivotal Top 5 hit on Country Airplay in early 2014. This success paved the way for the release of his self-titled debut album, Eric Paslay, later that same year, which also featured the singles ‘Song About a Girl’ and ‘She Don’t Love You,’ further cementing his status as a compelling new voice in the genre.
He continued to expand his catalog with singles such as ‘High Class’ in 2015 and ‘Angels in This Town’ in 2016, followed by the extended play The Work Tapes in 2017. He later released the single ‘Young Forever’ in 2018, before concluding his tenure with EMI Records Nashville. Eric Paslay continues to engage audiences with new music, most recently releasing his highly anticipated EP, Perfect Stranger, in December 2023. This latest project showcases his enduring artistry and songwriting depth, building on a career marked by chart-topping hits, prestigious collaborations, and a Grammy nomination, reinforcing his reputation as a respected and sought-after talent in country music.
