Owen Riegling is keeping his momentum rolling into 2026 with his latest release, “Love Hate Love,” a track that’s already starting to pick up across his socials and fanbase.
There’s a natural progression happening with Riegling right now. Each release feels like a step forward, and “Love Hate Love” leans into that. It carries a modern country sound, but still feels grounded in real emotion, built around the push and pull that comes with complicated relationships.
It’s the kind of song that connects quickly. Strong hook, clean production, and a concept that’s easy to latch onto without feeling overdone.
What stands out most is how consistent the run has been. From “Born Again” into this latest release, there’s a clear sense of direction. The music is landing, and the support around it is starting to follow, especially across streaming and playlists.
That momentum is now carrying over into the live side as well. Riegling is lining up for a busy festival season this summer, including an appearance at CMA Fest and his debut at the Grand Ole Opry — two major milestones that signal how quickly things are moving.
With more music on the way and a growing presence across DSPs, Riegling is firmly in that next wave of Canadian country artists making real impact. With major label backing, a growing international team, and key milestones ahead, t’s good to see a Canadian artist making this kind of noise right now.
