Country singer and songwriter Filmore has announced his new album ‘Atypical’, arriving February 20th via Pitbull’s Mr. 305 Records, alongside reflective new single “365.” The 21-track project marks a bold declaration from the Missouri native, featuring co-writes on every song and a fearless fusion of Country roots and crossover creativity. The album includes his first collaboration with Pitbull on “Yeehaw” and marks Filmore’s first release since 2023’s ‘Mean Something’. After stepping back to refocus his craft while welcoming the birth of his first child and signing to Mr. 305 Records, Filmore returns with a personal refresh that has opened new levels of musical courage and sincerity. “Working with Pitbull these last few years has truly made me a better artist,” Filmore shares. “I’ve learned so much from him and I now consider him family. I’m truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with him and be a part of the Mr. 305 Records family!”
‘Atypical’ presents a modern Country mix of personal writing and lived experience, blended with the fluid lyrical flow and rhythmic thump of hip-hop, the emotional release of hard rock, and the pulse-spiking euphoria of dancehall pop. Credited as co-producer on 16 genre-bending tracks, Filmore’s long-appreciated skill with a hook takes center stage on tunes dedicated to purpose, passion, and growth, all fused together by an emotionally charged gravel road vocal croon. Album tracks “If I Was You,” “South On Me,” “Betcha Gonna,” “Hola,” and “Love Lovin You” were initially dropped as solo releases in 2024. New single “365,” co-written by Filmore with Lydia Sutherland and Brandon Day and co-produced with John-Luke Carter and Brandon Day, pairs acoustic tenderness with edgy admission as Filmore looks back on a year of missed opportunity and resolves to make the next count. “The song started off with the title and once we realized we loved ‘365’ we built the concept around that,” he explains. “It was inspired by reflecting on real-life experiences from my past while thinking about how we all look to a midnight countdown for a fresh start. As we do with New Year’s resolutions, I wanted to share that feeling of letting go of who I was and striving to be better next year.”
The new era arrives after Filmore racked up 251 million US career streams and became the first independent artist featured on Spotify’s Hot Country cover. With a reputation for electric live shows, he’s opened for Dan + Shay, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, and Pitbull, while headlining his own dates and thrilling crowds at CMA Fest, Country Thunder, Stagecoach, and Watershed. Filmore most recently supported Pitbull this past summer on the European leg of his Party After Dark Tour.
