Don Louis Releases ‘XO’ From New ‘Liquor Talkin’ Deluxe’ Album

/by

Empire Nashville artist Don Louis has announced he’s releasing a deluxe version of his album Liquor Talkin’ on April 18. He’s previewing the expanded project with a brand new song,“XO,” along with a corresponding video.

Louis co-wrote “XO” alongside the track’s producer Kipp Williams, and while never officially released, it has remained a fan-favorite at his live shows. Just ahead of Valentine’s Day, “XO” finds Louis self-assured as a self-proclaimed knight in shining armor and starched jeans, brushing off the ones who jump to conclusions. With an infectious rhythm, the country jam blends Louis’ warm, deep-Southern drawl with modern beats and tips its hat to George Strait with a “Check Yes or No” reference.

“The inspiration for ‘XO’ struck me while listening to George Strait’s classic ‘Check Yes or No,’” says Louis. “I aimed to create a catchy tune that captures the thrill of connecting with someone special, while keeping that irresistible Southern country vibe. I truly believe ‘XO’ perfectly blends R&B and country.”

Liquor Talkin’ Deluxe will also feature a new, Texan-latino fused version of “Mine In My Mind,”  featuring a collaboration with Miami-born artist Sammy Arriaga, as well as three new songs.
