Maddox Batson Drops Debut EP ‘First Dance’

March 25, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Rising country artist Maddox Batson has released his new First Dance EP, via Prosper Entertainment/Warner Records.

First Dance features seven tracks including the cinematic single “Girl In Green,” the turbulent “Problem,” the romantic “It Was You” and more. Batson first connected with fans through his viral hits like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know.” The new EP arrives after the standout “I Don’t Like You Anymore,” which is approaching one million Spotify streams and 2.6 million YouTube views, and follows in the wake of the buzzing “X’s,” which has already amassed over 5.7 million Spotify streams and 11 million YouTube views.

Raised in Birmingham, the now 15-year-old developed a fervent passion for music when he was little. Developing his songwriting chops early, he has already had cuts like a current Lana Del Rey and Quavo single “Tough,” and will make his debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage tomorrow (March 26). Batson is also set to hit the road once again with headlining tour dates in New York City, Dallas, Chicago and more before supporting Lainey Wilson’s “Whirlwind Tour” this fall.
