Arthur Stulien raises a Toast to good times with “Pour One Up”
Country music has always thrived on two things: heartfelt storytelling and the communal act of raising a glass in good company. On “Pour One Up”, Norwegian country sensation Arthur Stulien hits both marks with style, swagger, and a voice made for the neon-lit stages of Nashville honky-tonks — even if he hails from a world away.
Just released recently on May 2nd, 2025, “Pour One Up” isn’t just a song; it’s a high-octane, feel-good anthem engineered for tailgates, barroom jukeboxes, backyard parties, and spontaneous singalongs with your favorite people. It’s a track built to turn a good night into a great one, and to leave you belting its infectious chorus long after the final chorus fades.
For those unfamiliar, Arthur Stulien has already mde serious waves within music and the genre. A guitar in his hands since age six and a songwriter by twelve, Stulien spent over a decade honing his craft in Norway’s growing country scene. But it was his third-place finish on The Voice Norway 2024, under the mentorship of pop songwriting heavyweight Ina Wroldsen, that truly catapulted him into the public eye. Judges and audiences alike were floored by his commanding stage presence and effortlessly dynamic vocal range — and those same talents shine brightly on this new single.
Produced with radio-ready polish and a keen sense of dynamic pop-rock energy, “Pour One Up” blends classic country storytelling with sleek, contemporary instrumentation. The track kicks off with a driving guitar lick and crisp percussion before Stulien’s rich, slightly rugged vocals slide in with an easy charisma. He’s got that old-school country warmth in his tone — think Keith Urban meets a Scandinavian Chris Stapleton — but when the chorus hits, Stulien soars into higher registers with impressive ease, delivering one of the catchiest hooks you’re likely to hear this year.
Lyrically, the song lands right in country’s sweet spot: a celebration of friendship, good times, and toasting the highs
“Pour One Up” feels tailor-made for summer party playlists, late-night road trips, and those cathartic nights where the drinks flow and worries fade. The production is modern, layered with just the right touch of pop sensibility without losing its country soul, while the chorus demands to be shouted along to, whether you’re in a dive bar or just cranking it in the car with your windows down.
It’s easy to see why Stulien has already started turning heads beyond his native Norway. He’s got the voice, the presence, and — most importantly — the songs. “Pour One Up” is proof positive that country music isn’t confined by geography, and that authentic, well-crafted anthems can come from anywhere.
