Brown takes a "Snapshot"

Friday, May 17, 2024 – Blanco Brown released the song "Snapshot" today, the first preview of his EP "Cedar Walls & Whiskey" out June 14.

"Snapshot," written by the pop songwriter Diane Warren and produced by Brown, is a reflection on the memories of our loved ones.

The EP will be his second one this year.

Warren, who has nine number one songs to her credit ("How Do I Live" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing") said she was "excited for everyone to hear 'Snapshot.' It's a song about holding onto the good moments so you can relive them again and again and Blanco really brings it to life. He is a fantastic and special artist and I can't wait for everyone to hear this."

Brown said, "Diane is a legend plain and simple. Working with her was amazing and I cherish her friendship."

Blanco is celebrating a second chance at life and a newfound appreciation for everything he does. After success with "The Git Up," which achieved 11x Platinum status and garnered over one billion streams, Blanco was badly hurt when a drunk driver hit Blanco head on while riding his motorcycle. Brown broke multiple bones in his body, required 12 blood transfusions and needed to be resuscitated in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. Despite the rehabilitation process, Blanco made a full recovery, relearning fundamental skills like walking and holding a microphone.

"It's hard for me to understand why with all the education and knowledge we have acquired and the options for ride share companies, how we have numbers on the rise. I am aligning with charities against drunk driving to help spread the word and continue educating the public. Nobody cares how much you drink or smoke, just don't drive for the sake of yourself and others."

A Black artist, Brown said, "I have encountered some challenges but I have also been blessed with success for the thing I love the most - making music. I have been criticized by some for my disruptive style, but music evolves. Some people catch on quicker than others, but it always evolves. Look at Elvis or the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Queen or Garth Brooks. All of them contributed to great change and growth in music."

The release of the first installment of his 2024 EPs, "Heartache & Lemonade" "Sunshine Shine" and "Good As It Gets."
