According to singer-songwriter Cory Marks, 2024 will be “A Different Kind Of Year” as the dual-genre artist leans into his country side for his latest single, out digitally today, via Better Noise Music. The rousing track was written post-pandemic as a feel-good anthem and was produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain). “A Different Kind Of Year” will be included on Marks’ forthcoming sophomore album due later this year.

“It’s the start of a brand new year, a chance for you to start fresh, refocus and see what is really important in this life. This new song is all about good times, reconnecting with family and friends. Committing to yourself to make things better in the year ahead and not taking those special things for granted,” shares Marks. It’s a country song for country people, so cheers. Here’s to you, here’s to me and a different kind of year!”
Marks’ 2020 groundbreaking debut album, Who I Am, landed at #1 on several Canadian charts including iTunes’ “Country Songs” and the Canadian Nielsen “Digital Sales Rock Genre” charts. The album featured the hit rock single “Outlaws & Outsiders,” which charted at #1 in the U.S. on Billboard’s “Rock Digital Song Sales” chart and #5 on iTunes’“Country Songs. “Outlaws & Outsiders” made history in the U.S. by being the first-everTop 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act.
