Sam Donald Releases Latest Country Track "Top Shelf"

Sam Donald, the Mississippi-born vocalist and guitarist, has hit the ground running in 2025 with the release of his latest single, "Top Shelf," on January 3rd. This track marks Donald's first offering of the new year and continues to showcase his evolving sound in the country music landscape.
"Top Shelf," which was produced by Brandon Manley and Sam Donald himself, features songwriting contributions from both artists. Donald has been known for his unique blend of country and grunge, a style he and his longtime producer Zack Keel have dubbed "grunge country".
Donald's musical journey began in Jackson, Mississippi, before he relocated to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Initially playing guitar in various bands, he decided to step out as a lead performer and songwriter in 2021. His career gained significant momentum in early 2024 when several of his songs and videos went viral on TikTok, amassing over 15 million views in less than six weeks and increasing his streaming numbers by over 400%.
Prior to "Top Shelf," Donald released several singles in 2023 that helped establish his distinctive sound. These included "Make You Want God," which became the stylistic fingerprint for his new direction, as well as "Nickels & Dimes" and "Son of the Sandman". These releases showcased Donald's commitment to creating authentic music that feels true to himself.
As Sam Donald continues to make his mark in the country music scene, "Top Shelf" represents another step in his artistic evolution. With his growing discography and increasing presence on streaming platforms, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for Donald and his fans.
