Maddox Batson Revisits Track "Southbound" With Acoustic Version

Maddox Batson's latest track "Southbound (Acoustic)" was released in December, 2024. The song reimagines October's original single with an acoustical sound, providing a stripped-down version that emphasizes the emotional resonance of the track.
"Southbound" is a heartbroken reflection on a past romance, using the metaphor of driving southbound to describe the decline and eventual end of a relationship. The lyrics delve into themes of hindsight, realizing the relationship was doomed from the start, and the pain of breakup.
The 14-year-old rising star has a unique style which blends elements of traditional country, southern rock, and pop. He gained significant attention through his TikTok presence, where he regularly shares snippets of his music and has amassed over 3 million followers across social media platforms.
In 2024, Batson released several notable tracks. "Tears In The River" accumulated over 21 million global streams, while "I Wanna Know" also gained popularity. His single "X's" was released in September 2024 after signing with Warner Records.
Batson has also achieved success as a songwriter, co-writing Lana Del Rey and Quavo's single "Tough." He made history as the youngest artist to perform at Nashville's iconic Whiskey Jam, drawing a capacity crowd during CMA Fest.
