Tony Stampley’s new single Colorblind, the second track from his forthcoming album, Heal the World, was released today on Amazon, Apple Music, iTunes & Spotify. Co-written with longtime friend, Bonnie Swayze, Colorblind tells the story of how beautiful life could be if we all lived without judgement based on the color of one’s skin.
“I truly believe that a song can heal the world,” says Tony. “Colorblind was crafted for these trying times and is sorely needed. After the events that happened in Ferguson, my co-writer and friend, Bonnie Swayze, came to me with the idea for Colorblind. After the latest events that have happened with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, we both felt it was time to put out the song.”
Tony, the son of the legendary Joe Stampley, has been penning powerful songs and hits for artists like Billy Currington, Hank Williams, Jr, George Jones, Moe Bandy, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, John Anderson, Joe Stampley, Confederate Railroad and Mark Chesnutt. “Stampley rocks hard and with country edge, but when he steps out and shows a softer side, he actually makes his case a little better.” says Billboard. “Stampley can tug at the heartstrings as well as rock,” wrote the Country Standard Time. “This singer truly believes in the power of a song and how it can heal the world,” said Matt Bjorke at Roughstock.com.
Fellow artist have also applauded Tony’s music and writing.
