Ready To Chill With Travis Collins?

Nine albums into an incredible career and Travis Collins is hitting new highs with his latest album, “Any Less Anymore”. Debuting #1 on the ARIA International Country Album chart and a massive #3 on the ARIA All-Genre Album chart; the highest chart by an Australian country artist in over two years and now he releases the coastal-country smash single of the summer, “Chill”.

“Chill” is the fifth single lifted from “Any Less Anymore” and follows the massive success of previous single, “Runnin’ The Country” (with The Wolfe Brothers), which has the distinction of being the longest running Australian #1 country single of 2023 on the CountryTown Hot50 chart with a whopping 6 weeks in the top spot (the CountryTown Hot50 is Australia’s official country airplay chart based on data from RadioMonitor). The three previous singles, “One of Them Nights”, “Just The Way” and “Any Less Anymore”all charted in the Top 10 of the CountryTown Hot 50. “Any Less Anymore” also features the beautiful ballad, “Raise Me”, a song about Travis’s daughter, Ava, the song has been widely acclaimed by fans and industry alike and was one of the highlight performances of the Songwriters Show, when Travis performed at CMC Rocks QLD in March this year.

“Chill” is set to continue the hot streak and is the perfect summer session song. It’s laid back coastal-country groove is led by an acoustic guitar riff which will be the soundtrack to many road trips and lazy days on the water this summer. As Travis describes it, “Chill has definitely grown on me over the last couple months; the more I played it it’s become one of my absolute favourites on the record. It’s all about wanting to get back out in the world. I wrote this song towards the end of the pandemic, and I remember talking with my wife and saying, “hey, let’s just get on the road, let’s just get on a plane, let’s go somewhere and just sit on a beach chair under an umbrella and drink beer or margaritas, just have a damn good time and chill”.
