“Pass It On” officially impacting country radio on February 21st, is Ryan Hurd’s follow-up single to his smash “Chasing After You feat. Maren Morris.” It is Ryan Hurd’s first single to country radio since the release of his debut album “Pelago.” “Pass it On” was written by Ryan Hurd, Jordan Schmidt, and Maren Morris.
Here are audio and video work parts to service this next single from Ryan Hurd and we thank you for your continued support!
“Hey it’s Ryan Hurd and this is my song Pass It On.”
“Hey it’s Ryan Hurd and that was my song Pass It On.”
“I wrote “Pass It On” with Jordan Schmidt and my wife Maren (Morris) and (Michael) Hardy. And originally it was a an idea we were kind of angling toward Maren’s third album. And as the song kind of got moving, we kind of found Michael (Hardy) to be singing more of it. And so it sort of felt more like it was more of a song for a guy to sing. And so somehow it fell, out of the three artists in the room, it fell to me. And I’m really thankful that it did because I love just the recording of the way that it feels and it’s I love how unabashedly positive it is and I think that’s a great way to kick off an album. Also, I love like hearing Hardy and Maren sing the background vocals on it like that, to me is really cool. And obviously neither one of them are featured and they don’t need to be. They they kind of speak for themselves but it’s just really fun to have like your friends and obviously Maren sings on a lot of the album but it’s fun to have them be a part of it.”

“I’m really excited about playing my new album to Pelago on the road, on Tour De Pelago. And the shows are so fun. We play most of the songs off the album and it’s so fun to see Chasing After You in front of a real audience. It’s just been amazing to see where that song has taken us and it’s even more fun to share it with fans that come out to our shows.”
Traversing uncharted territory, he stamps each song with a distinctive, stylistic mark. Lyrically, Pelago makes sense of Hurd’s story with inviting vulnerability, allowing his listeners to find pieces of themselves within the deeply personal project.”—American Songwriter
“Pelago introduces Hurd as a thoughtful solo artist and vivid storyteller.”—Forbes
“A rising star who’s making up his own singular career as he goes along…all [11tracks] reflect his affinity for radio-ready melodies and lyrics that brim with originality.”—People
