“GETTIN’ GONE (FEAT. SNOOP DOGG)” MARKS FIRST SONG OFF UPCOMING CADILLAC SESSIONS ON NEWLY ANNOUNCED DEVILLE RECORDS, FOUNDED BY 4X ACM NOMINEE ERNEST
OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO MAKES BROADCAST DEBUT ON PARAMOUNT’S TIMES SQUARE BILLBOARD; NOW IN ROTATION ACROSS CMT + MTV CHANNELS
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Marking the first release from newly announced DeVille Records, 2x 2025 ACM Award nominee ERNEST is joined by global icon Snoop Dogg for feel-good twang (and a mile-high flow) on “Gettin’ Gone,” accompanied by the song’s official music video, out today.
Co-written by 3X CMA Triple Play winning artist ERNEST, “Gettin’ Gone” was first shared informally with Snoop, who immediately asked to be on the track. The video produced by Dustin Haney captures the pair in ERNEST’s beloved Cadillac DeVille driving around Nashville, outside of Castle Recording Studios and down Broadway.
The new song is the first taste of what’s to come on Cadillac Sessions, a mixtape-style compilation featuring two new originals and one cover from DeVille Records’ talent GRAMMY-nominated Chandler Walters, Cody Lohden and Rhys Rutherford – plus additional superstar guests, and a few choice cuts from ERNEST’s vault, out May 9.
The organic sonics of honky tonk, Western swing, ’90s country, and more collide with vivid imagery and modern hooks on the project, becoming a hybrid of classic and cutting edge which positions each artist’s skill. Production was done at Nashville’s Castle Recording Studios (featured in the “Gettin’ Gone” music video) and featured throughout the project’s documentary series which captures the creative camaraderie – and the spark of first-time artists living out their dreams, essential to country’s next chapter.
Pre-Save / Pre-Add Cadillac Sessions
Featured in Variety, The New York Times, Billboard, and more, “from hitmaker to historian…Ernest is reviving the sound of classic country music” (Los Angeles Times) and “More than any performer, ERNEST best represents how, in the next decade, the communal spirit driving country music in Nashville will likely redefine popular culture worldwide” (The Tennessean).
ABOUT ERNEST
Top-selling singer-songwriter, and Nashville’s unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is “The Charmer” (MusicRow): a triple threat talent who “creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar) and one of Music City’s defining artist-writers. The 4x ACM Award nominee (2024/2025), 3x CMA Triple Play Award winner, and 2022 / 2023 Variety Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones, crafting a twist-heavy verse style that’s earned himself twelve No. 1 hits as a songwriter. His full-length sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, “clearly honors the spirit of Music City while simultaneously proving ERNEST as one of the most dynamic singer/songwriters in country music” (The Tennessean), features 26 songs and collaborations with Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY, and more. The album has been featured as one of the Best of the Year by Los Angeles Times, Billboard, The Tennessean, and Country Now, following in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessor, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), and its cleverly expanded deluxe edition, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, which added a baker’s dozen of fresh cuts to the bunch. ERNEST also recently co-penned the Hot 100 record-breaking single, “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen earning him a 2025 GRAMMY nomination. In 2024, ERNEST served as support for Morgan Wallen’s One Night At A Time Stadium Tour as well as a string of arena shows for Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken Tour. He continues on the road in 2025 as direct support for Lainey Wilson and Old Dominion. “From hitmaker to historian…Ernest is reviving the sound of classic country music” (Los Angeles Times).
