Canadian country artist Chad Brownlee released his new single ‘Legendary’ on April 24, marking what he describes as a shift toward a bigger, more high-impact sound.
The track, released via The Orchard, blends Brownlee’s country roots with a rock-driven edge and draws on his past as a professional hockey player. The song is positioned as an arena-ready anthem, capturing the intensity and pressure of high-stakes moments.
SWOMP caught up with Brownlee for an interview. Listen, below:
Co-written with Jason Blaine and Grammy-winning producer Ben Glover, ‘Legendary’ focuses on themes of competition and ambition, aimed at both sports audiences and country music fans.
Listen to the song, below:
Brownlee, originally from British Columbia, began his career in music after being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks and stepping away from professional hockey in 2009. Since then, he has become a mainstay in Canadian country, earning multiple gold and platinum certifications, including for his No. 1 single Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere.’
The release comes as Brownlee prepares for a series of tour dates across Canada, with stops in Alberta, British Columbia and New Brunswick. He also opened for Lee Brice at a show in Abbotsford, B.C., earlier this month.
Recent years have seen Brownlee take a more independent approach to his career, building on a catalogue that has generated more than 115 million global streams and millions of views on YouTube.
