"I'm stoked with how the song turned out, I think it's one of my best singles to date and definitely one of my catchiest," Corey said.
In less than three days his latest single Love You & Leave You had amassed 1000 streams on Spotify and was added to the Aussie Country Apple Music playlist.
"I've been blown away with the response so far, with Beccy Cole premiering the song on ABC Country and airplay on Australian Country Radio and Double J," he said.
The single is off his new album What Now?, which won't be released until early 2022.
Legge is looking forward to coming back to the Bega Valley in his NSW tour in December, which includes a solo acoustic show at the Old Tanja Church.
The tour will begin December 3 and finish December 19. The solo acoustic show at Tanja will be on Friday, December 3, starting at 6.30pm.
The opening act on the night will be another great local talent Felicity Dowd.
After having received funding from Create NSW for his third studio album, Legge recorded with multi-award-winning country producer Matt Fell at Love Hz Studios in Sydney.
The first single Cemetery Kids was released in late August 2021 along with a nostalgic film clip featuring snippets of Legge's childhood in his hometown Bega.
Legge said the latest film clip was a tribute to his grandparents and growing up on 100 acres of farmlands near the cemetery.
In early 2021, the young talent was ranked second in renowned Australia Country Radio charts for his alt-country track I Don't Know What I've Got Myself in For.
Legge has released two albums in two years, Driving out of Eden (2019) and Some Days (2020), landing him high rotation on ABC Country, and regular airplay on KIX Country, Double J and Triple J.
Corey said What now? was a concept album that raises the questions a lot of people have been asking this past year on what comes next.
He said the album acts as a recap on all the stories that emerged from the Black Summer bushfires and how everyone was dealing with COVID-19.
