Rising country powerhouse Angie K released her highly anticipated new single, “Contigo,” today, May 15, 2026. The track offers a vibrant, feel-good glimpse into her forthcoming album Whiskey & Hemingway, arriving later this June (Grand Ole Opry performance June 30th), and continues her streak of genre-blending storytelling rooted in joy, connection, and cultural authenticity.

Contigo,” co-written by Angie K alongside Willie Morrison and Kipp Williams, captures the beauty of simple, meaningful moments. Inspired by sun-soaked memories, love, and the quiet magic of being present with someone special, the song delivers both an infectious melody and a heartfelt message that resonates across borders.

“I grew up listening to Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffett, and Zac Brown Band. Artists who all remind me that happiness doesn’t have to be that complicated. Sometimes “happy” is just some sun on your shoulders, laughing with people you love, a view worth sharing in comfortable silence. I’ve always loved that kind of joy, the quiet kind. The kind you notice more than you chase.” — Angie K

The release follows the breakout success of Angie’s previous single, “Low Key Love Song,” which earned widespread critical acclaim and major media support from outlets including Apple Music, Remezcla, Nashville Noise, Holler, CountryLine TV, and more. The track solidified her reputation as one of country music’s most compelling multicultural voices and underscored her mission to expand representation within the genre.

Building on that momentum, her high-energy anthem “Sweatin’” — the official line dance track for The Edge Line Dance Competition — has also made waves, earning recognition from Billboard, Curve Magazine, Remezcla: Latin Music & Culture, and Boots and Whiskey Podcast. The song is currently in the running for the NPR Tiny Desk Contest, where her performance has already surpassed 70,000 views on YouTube, showcasing her dynamic stage presence and powerhouse vocals to a national audience.

As her star continues to rise, Angie K is bringing her electrifying live show to some of the year’s biggest stages. She is set to perform at CMA Fest on the Dr Pepper Amp Stage, one of the festival’s premier platforms spotlighting emerging and influential artists shaping the future of country music. She will also return to the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage this June in celebration of her album release.

This fall, Angie will join Brooks & Dunn on tour as an opening act, marking a major milestone in her career and introducing her music to audiences nationwide.

Born in El Salvador, raised in Georgia, and now based in Nashville, Angie K has emerged as one of country music’s most exciting independent artists. Her accolades include 2025 Origins Impact Artist of the Year honors, recognition as part of CMT’s Listen Up Class, multiple Grand Ole Opry appearances, and praise from major outlets such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, and Music Row Magazine. Through her work, she continues to carve out space for Latin artists in country and Americana while connecting with fans through authenticity, heart, and undeniable talent.

With “Contigo” leading the way, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for Angie K — one marked by growth, visibility, and a powerful celebration of identity and sound.
