Randall King has made his debut on mainstream country radio with his first single, “I Could Be That Rain,” from his second major label album, Into The Neon. Released in January, the song marks a significant milestone in King’s career.
Written by Brian Fuller and Mason Thornley, “I Could Be That Rain” showcases King’s heartfelt lament over a lost love, expressing his desire to metaphorically become the rain that once graced his former partner’s skin. The track combines King’s authentic country vocals with a poignant narrative, making it a standout single.
King is enthusiastic about his song’s radio debut, noting that it was the most-added single of the week, with 35 stations featuring it on impact. “Man, I’m pumped! I’ve been eager and patient for this opportunity my whole career, and I am ready to ride those airwaves,” King said. Reflecting on his childhood dreams of hearing artists like George Strait and Alan Jackson on the radio, he added, “This is ‘all I’ve ever wanted,’ so I’m chasing that neon rainbow now!”
Renowned for his neotraditional country style, King has drawn comparisons to legends like Strait and Alan Jackson for his classic, twangy sound. His entry into mainstream country radio is seen as a promising sign for the genre, with King leading the charge for authentic country music.
