Country soul singer songwriter Drake White turned up the heat this summer with sunny and sizzling new single “Nuthin’ But a Smile” out now, marking his first original release of 2025 and hinting at more to come shortly. White personally produced the song, collaborating with co writers Shane Minor and Monte Criswell, crafting a track where wailing guitar signals the perfect August afternoon on the river with friends and frosty beverages while organ echoes over a head nodding beat as he paints a picture of a river rat pipe dream party scene where the lies and the horseshoes fly.
White shares the song has been one of his favorites since the day they wrote it, growing up on the riverbank in Hokes Bluff, Alabama and always being a fan of the less is more mentality, especially when it comes to clothing during the dog days of summer, with the Muscle Shoals swampy sonics welcoming you to Soul Country.
Last month he dropped the three track ‘Scattered, Smothered, Covers’ EP putting his spin on “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims, “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish and “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, following last year’s third full length studio album ‘Low Country High Road’ boasting the wisdom laden “Life, Love and War,” the mischievous “10 Lbs of S#!T” and blues and gospel tinged “Faith.”
