And as for the click-track beat, the less said the better.Īl Varela: The double-edged sword of Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous is that there is enough quality stuff on it for you to pick and choose your favorite songs while ignoring the ones you dislike. Thomas Inskeep: Wallen’s voice on “Wasted on You” is just as whiny as his lyrics.
The way the rap-influenced drums hit in the chorus are another thing that I came to like, and overall the music sounds good here. He maybe could’ve injected more emotion, especially in the chorus, but it’s possible that might have just come off as overwrought. His singing is good too, with enough gruffness to get to the emotions he’s trying to convey. The lyrics are one - at first I just heard the generic country tropes (“bourbon” “boots” “Chevy” etc), but I think when listened to properly the song tells a story with enough detail that it feels like something that really happened to Wallen. First listen I wasn’t very impressed, but repeated listens have revealed its qualities. Samson Savill de Jong: It’s a bit of a grower, this one. Treating the trap beat like George Jones did pedal steel allows him to flaunt a conversational cadence: he’s not smarmy, just chatty, honest about not having enough on his mind but knowing that mind well.

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: The iceberg-paced Sam Hunt-ification of country music shows no signs of stopping - and I’m not mad about it.Īlfred Soto: A tub full of blarney, guts, and mullets, Morgan Wallen may be indistinguishable from Sam Hunt in a lineup, but he’s even more influenced by hip-hop. Pharrell Williamsĭefinitely our favourite singer to have been stolen from Usher by Adam Levine…
I need something you proof / Something stronger than I'm used to / Yeah, I've been pouring 90 to 100 / Feel like nothing's gonna cut it, that's the hard truth / Yeah, I need something you proof / Oh, I need something you proof. Yeah, I've been throwin' down the whiskey / I oughta get my money back / And someone said it drowns a memory / Ah, but it ain't doing jack / Yeah, I've been sippin', I've been buzzin' / Shootin' doubles like it's nothin' / But nothin' makes you go away.
1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart. "You Proof" doesn't cover new territory for Wallen lyrically, but it stands out as original.ĭid You Know?: Wallen has released two other songs from an unreleased project, " Don't Think Jesus" and " Thought You Should Know." Both hit No. Kip Moore is the present day master of structuring songs to fit his lyrics, not vice versa. Classic country artists did a much better job of straying from formulaic song structure (verse, chorus, short verse, chorus, bridge, chorus), resulting in songs that relied on just one verse ( Merle Haggard's "That's the Way Love Goes") or five ( George Jones, "He Stopped Loving Her Today"). It's here that Wallen finds his country roots.
The melody changes after the chorus however, with verse two acting more like a first bridge. The group crafted a clever first verse, with lyrics that recall a recent Jason Aldean hit amid other familiar references. Ashley Gorley and Ernest helped Wallen write the song, with Joey Moi (plus Charlie Handsome) back to produce.
