CurbFor Dylan Scott fans, the wait is finally over for the follow-up to his self-titled debut album from 2016, as his Nothing to Do Town EP arrives today.
“Two-and-a-half years later, we finally get new music,” the Louisiana native smiles. “Man, I’m just so excited to get new music out to the fans. And hopefully they will enjoy this stuff just as much as I enjoyed writing it and producing it and getting it out.”
Dylan’s breakthrough hit, “My Girl,” was inspired by his wife Blair, and most of his six-song EP follows suit.
“A lot of my stuff is love songs,” he admits. “I need to bring some party songs into the mix. I need to bring some dude songs.”
“But every time I sit down,” Dylan tells ABC Radio, “it’s just so easy to write a love song. And it’s kinda worked for us live. The love songs work, for some reason…”
“But it is, it’s a love letter to Blair,” he adds.
While the title track and first single, “Nothing to Do Town,” isn’t a love song, Dylan says it’s perhaps Blair’s favorite.
“When I wrote that song,” he explains, “I was like, ‘Okay, it’s cool. I like it.’ And then I play it for her, and she flips out over it. And then I play it for some other people, they flip out over it.”
“So she’s got a good ear,” he points out.
Dylan and Blair are expecting their second child — a daughter — in September. She’ll join her big brother Beckett, who celebrated his first birthday in December.
