Norway might not be the first place you think of when it comes to modern country music, but Arthur Stulien is here to change that narrative with his latest single, “Pour One Up,” released on May 2, 2025. A bona fide summer anthem, this track is country through and through, but with a polished pop-rock sheen that makes it festival-ready and FM radio-friendly.
From the opening seconds, it bursts with life as gritty guitars churn into sparkling country riffs, while the drums thump with a pulse that practically demands a cold drink and a raised glass. Arthur’s vocals glide over the track with an easy, infectious charm, beaming confidence and warmth in equal measure. His voice is rich and unpretentious, ringing with feel-good energy that makes you want to sing along before the first chorus is even over.
“Pour One Up” is as much about sound as it is about spirit. It’s not trying to reinvent the genre; it’s here to celebrate it. Arthur merges traditional themes of good times and heartland soul with a production style that borrows from the likes of Morgan Wallen and Post Malone, giving the track crossover appeal without diluting its authenticity. His lyrics aim for the relatable, and they hit better than poetry for celebratory times. It’s a song you’ll hear blasting from trucks, bar jukeboxes, and beach speakers all summer long.
Coming off a stellar run on The Voice Norway and backed by a growing legacy of European country acclaim, Arthur proves he’s no one-hit wonder. Listen to “Pour One Up” on Spotify.
