Big Machine Records singer-songwriter Chase McDaniel sets fire to Country radio with debut single “Burned Down Heaven” this week, as he marks his first time in the Top 3 most added with 44 first-week stations on board. Listen to “Burned Down Heaven” and watch the Robby Stevens-directed music video.

Co-written by McDaniel with Jon Nite and Lindsay Rimes, the heartbreaking portrait of loss and regret brings the musician’s force-of-nature baritone to a searing reflection on the pain of hurting someone you cherish. “Burned Down Heaven” finds McDaniel fully revealing the depth of his sorrow right from the very first line (“If this ain’t hell, then it’s close”). Equal parts rootsy and gorgeously orchestrated, the Lindsay Rimes-produced power ballad explodes into a soaring intensity at its poetic yet painfully raw chorus (“Feels like I burned down heaven in that driveway / I learned my lesson a few tears too late / Dropping words like matches / Leaving her heart in ashes / I can’t take it back no matter what I say”). With its soulful guitar tones, high-powered drums, and cinematic strings, “Burned Down Heaven” builds to a roaring crescendo at the bridge, ultimately hinting at the hope of redemption and possibility of self-forgiveness.

Just delivering another new release “Risk It All” (with an adjoining music video directed by Robby Stevens) last week, the fast-ascending talent promises more music is on the way.

ABOUT CHASE MCDANIEL:
Raised by his grandparents in the small Kentucky town of Greensburg, Chase McDaniel is one of Nashville’s most tenacious singer-songwriters and a shining example of how kindness, persistence, and curiosity can pay off. After graduating from the University of Louisville, he pursued his dream of making Country music all the way to Nashville. But the streetwise go-getter, who’s no stranger to hard times, quickly found misfortune once again – this time courtesy of the pandemic. Jobless and down to his last $12, he almost packed it up and headed home, then found a lifeline in a friend who loaned him enough to cover rent for just a few more weeks. During that time, McDaniel submitted over 50 job applications and finally landed a gig, working double shifts and sleeping as little as four hours a night while writing and recording with his producer and best friend Jerry Jacobs in whatever spare time he could find. Grateful for the second chance, McDaniel poured his heart and soul into his music, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly, and steadily winning over a growing community of fans who’ve connected with his honesty and strength through vulnerability – not to mention his enigmatic swagger. Over the last few years, he’s scored the #1 spot on the Billboard Country Digital Song Sales and iTunes Country single charts with the self-aware “Project” and reached #3 (all-genre) for “Your Daughter” (a heartbreaking track written about his sister). The Big Machine Records talent released his debut EP Blame It All On Country Music in early 2024, and began taking his Country Rock sound and rich baritone vocals to sold-out audiences across the country. With his debut single “Burned Down Heaven” at Country radio, and more new music on the way like recent release “Risk It All,” McDaniel’s ultimate aim is to help others find the light.
