Jet Jurgensmeyer, rising country artist and accomplished actor, has officially released his new single “RED”, now available across all major streaming platforms here.
Jurgensmeyer co-wrote “RED” alongside Ericca Latza and Kayleigh Clark. The idea came to him while he was driving to their writing session, which marked the first time all three collaborators were in a room together. Wanting to bring something unique and meaningful to the table, Jurgensmeyer pitched a concept centered around the color red – a symbol that took on a deeper significance as the writing process unfolded.
“I am super excited about this release,” Jurgensmeyer shares. “I love the song ‘Human’ by Cody Johnson and the message behind it, and I really wanted to create something in that same spirit for my own project – a song that brings people together.”
The trio explored how “red” represents universal experiences such as hard work, love, pride, and humanity – from red dirt on blue-collar boots to the stripes of the American flag, the song expresses how, regardless of our backgrounds or differences, we all bleed red. The track was recorded at Farmland in Nashville (Berry Hill) and produced by Jet alongside Dan Frizsell.
“RED” follows closely on the heels of Jurgensmeyer’s previous single, “Going Next”, which was co-written with Andrew Rizzuto. The emotionally charged track captures the essence of deep connection, telling the story of a girl who stands by his side through every twist and turn. With warmth, understanding, and unwavering compassion, she helps the relationship push forward despite any challenges they face. The song reflects on how shared history shapes the path ahead, asking, “where are we going next?” Accompanied by acoustic elements, the song highlights emotional vulnerability and the importance of direction in a relationship.
These singles build on the momentum of Jurgensmeyer’s 2024 album, THE RIDE: phase 2, released in July of 2024. The album features a collection of 11 tracks that blend country, rock, and pop into a cohesive and innovative sound. It includes fan favorites like “Good Days,” “Coffee Bar,” and “Falling Too,” with each song written or co-written by Jurgensmeyer.
THE RIDE: phase 2 pushes the boundaries of Jurgensmeyer’s songwriting, offering meticulously crafted lyrics that dive deep into themes of love, identity, growth, and emotional resilience. His poetic storytelling and creative arrangements invite listeners into a rich narrative landscape that challenges and inspires. The album is available now on all streaming platforms here.
