and Sam Hunt with 38 #1 country
records and 2019 ACM Songwriter
of the Year). Each song’s lyrics,
arrangements, beats, melody and
story will be considered by the panel
as the producers and guest artist
engage in a lively discussion about
ways to creatively adapt them to
better fit the style and sensibility of
the recording artist of the week.
After the performances, the mega-recording
artist will choose three
songwriters to move forward to the
studio and pair them each with the
producer best suited to perfect their
song. In the studio, the songs will
take shape in unexpected ways as
the songwriter and producer duos
work together to win over the recording
artist. In the end, a winner
will be chosen and their song will
be recorded and released for a
global audience.
