Gavin Adcock wastes no time. The country maverick opens 2026 with “Colorblind,” a new single co-written with Colton Venner and Derek Bahr that sets the tone for what promises to be his biggest year yet. “It’s about losing someone you shoulda cared more for, and not realizing how much color she brought to your life,” Adcock says. It’s the kind of direct, emotionally honest writing that made his album ‘Own Worst Enemy’ one of country music’s most talked-about releases, and “Colorblind” picks up right where that momentum left off.
‘Own Worst Enemy’ arrived as the number one country debut album on the Billboard Top 200 Country Chart and the number one all-genre streaming debut on the Billboard 200 the week of release, surpassing 25 million US streams in its first week, more than double the first-week numbers of his previous album ‘Actin’ Up Again,’ released less than a year earlier. That’s the kind of trajectory that turns heads across the industry, and Adcock has clearly used the momentum well.
The road ahead is loaded. Adcock is confirmed as support on 16 dates of Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour 2026, in addition to multiple festival appearances including Stagecoach in Indio, California. He’s also had two songs from ‘Own Worst Enemy’ featured on the Madden NFL 26 Soundtrack, extending his reach well beyond traditional country audiences.
“Colorblind” is out now, and Adcock promises much more music to come in 2026.
