NASHVILLE, Tenn. – RCA Records Nashville artist/songwriter Ryan Hurd released the tender, sultry and deeply-personal music video for his current single, “To a T,” featuring a cast of actual couples and a contemporary cameo via FaceTime by wife Maren Morris.
The video is about real love and real people representing every stage of a relationship from new beginnings to a senior couple dancing in the kitchen. The authenticity between the couples is obvious and was essential to the song and Hurd’s performance.

With career streams exceeding 100 million worldwide, Hurd has a compelling point of view and an eager audience for his endearing love letter, “To a T,” which will be released to country radio on Feb. 18. The song was already a No. 1 on the SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown and caught the attention of entertainment tastemakers including men’s lifestyle playbook Esquire.
Accolades include Wide Open Country, which called the song “a gorgeous ode to intimacy and quiet moments spent with a soulmate,” Cowboys & Indians which wrote, “swoon-worthy lyrics,” Music Row, which stated “It has a coy, cuddly and super romantic flavor that’s as tasty as a candy bar,” PopCulture, which called “To a T” “a looping, relaxed jam that’s all about love,” and The Boot, which wrote, “To a T” “oozes romance, love and the intimacy that comes from truly knowing a partner.”
Hurd co-wrote the sultry “To a T” with Laura Veltz and Nathan Spicer with attention-grabbing bass, sonic guitar work, and drop-you-in-your-tracks harmony from creative muse and partner Morris.
Hurd’s ascension seems obvious. He was named the only country artist on Sirius XM’s all-genre “Future Five” for 2019. He was tapped by AOL as one of their country artists set for a breakout year, Amazon Music’s Best of 2018, and named an Artist to Watch by VEVO, Pandora, CMT, The Huffington Post, and Rolling Stone Country, which lauded him for “generating major buzz” and “making waves.”
The praise is earned. The native of Kalamazoo, MI is one of Nashville’s most multi-dimensional young songwriters. He has had co-pen credits on some of the format’s biggest hits including “Lonely Tonight” (Blake Shelton), “You Look Good” (Lady Antebellum), and “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” (Luke Bryan). Now with the release of his own music, fans are discovering the fuel that drives Hurd is often love with all its avatars.
