<p>Indie sensation <strong><a title="Cody Johnson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSCodyJohnson/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fcody-johnson-tickets%2F">Cody Johnson</a></strong> is scheduled to release his highly anticipated studio album GOTTA BE ME next Friday, August 5. Johnson continues to blaze a trail, topping the SiriusXM “On The Horizon” playlist. After making his career debut on the playlist just two weeks ago, the infectious new single “With You I Am” catapulted to #1. The overwhelming response from listeners was immediate. It’s clear that country fans are hungry for Johnson and his brand of traditional country music.</p>
<p>The lead single off of his forthcoming album was co-written by Johnson along with David Lee and Cody’s producer Trent Wilmon.</p>
<p><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/dvvpo/d7o4cf/t7nswe">Taste of Country</a> exclusively premiered the lyric video for “With You I Am” just last month, offering fans &#8220;a glimpse of the energetic singer’s live show during a song that finds him loving on his wife of eight years.” Watch the impactful lyric video <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/dvvpo/d7o4cf/9zoswe">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>Johnson&#8217;s lead single has also captured early attention from industry veteran Tom Roland at Billboard:</p>
<p>&#8220;The song [&#8216;With You I Am&#8217;] is nicely balanced on several fronts: It matches his ’90s-influenced country with a modern-sounding drum track; it shows plenty of vocal restraint until the last run-through of the chorus, when Johnson goes full-throttle with conviction; and it delivers a female-friendly romantic message in a way that guys can relate to as well.”</p>
