Stough is "Lookin' For Home"
The song "Sober" was just released from the six-song EP.
"Each one of these songs is a piece of my heart, and they outline trials and tribulations that I've been through personally. They've made me into who I am today," said Stough. "The EP title 'Lookin' For Home' comes from that feeling that something is missing – that no matter where you are, who you're with or what you're doing, you feel like you don't belong, and there's something just over the horizon that would make it better."
Built around the bitter sting of a breakup, "Sober" was co-written by Stough with Mason Thornley and Sam Martinez. Lyrics include "All about missing someone so bad you can't even numb the pain – "I could hang out all night / I could drink this bottle dry / Trying to get me gone and I ain't getting any closer / Without your love I'm sober."
This is the follow-up to his "Promiseland " EP, which came out in October 2023, and merges country and Southern rock.
