MacKenzie Bourg Returns To Music, Plus Austin Mahone & More - New Music Friday!

MacKenzie Bourg has released his first new song in two years!

The 28-year-old former American Idol and The Voice contestant dropped “Good Day” on New Music Friday (March 12) this week!

“‘Good Day’ is something that I needed after the weirdest year of my life, which I’m sure many people can relate to. Being in quarantine made the sad times a lot more sad, but finding someone to pull through it with is what life is all about and good days are ahead,” he said in a statement about his new song.

After recently revealing he signed a record deal with Preach Records, MacKenzie shared with fans, “It took me like two years to release a new song, I am aware of this, but the music is coming.”

Austin Mahone also has a new song out this week with Rock Mafia – “Tied Up.”

Charlotte Lawrence just dropped her new EP Charlotte last week, and this week, premiered the visual for her song “Cowboys.”

Also out with new music and music videos this week are AJ Mitchell, Yashua, Gunnar Gehl, Leyla Blue and deaf artist Mandy Harvey, who’s new video shares a message of inclusiveness and positivity.
