Sam Hunt walks a treacherous path. The pop-country star impressed lots of people, together with extraordinarily passive nation music listeners like myself, by infusing a Drake-style delicate hip-hop strategy into the style in a approach that felt fully pure and intuitive. But like Drake, his music can simply flip to gloop. Hunt’s latest single “Walmart” struck me as self-parody, however “Outskirts” was proper there within the candy spot.
Today he’s received one other one which hits the Hallmark sentimentality a bit too arduous for my style. “Women In My Life” is about what you’d anticipate: a tribute to all the women who’ve helped him to go away his dimwit days behind and develop into an grownup. “I’d still be a stupid boy out on the run/ Not half the man that I’ve become,” he sings. “I wouldn’t know how to know you were the one/ If it wasn’t for all the women in my life.” Check it out under.
I proceed to journey for Southside. So many classics on that one.
