Brooding, erotic, and deceptively diverse, ANTI coolly jumps from oozing slow jams (Kiss it Better) to bubbling pop confections (the futurist dancehall-lite Drake collaboration Work) to serrated experiments (the vaguely industrial Woo) and throwback comfort food (Love on the Brain, Higher). Fun fact for pop fans: Cam isn’t just a country girl – the California native co-wrote “Maybe You’re Right,” which Miley Cyrus recorded for Bangerz. A decade into her career, Rihanna remains a hypnotic presence. “I Wish I Was,” which Morris wrote with Natalie Hemby and Ryan Hurd, is heartache perfection, drenched in bluesy instrumentation and sugary soul.įor a simple and stunning ballad with lyrical poignance, Cam’s “Burning House” is a must-listen. Watch other performances by Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato, Major Lazer and Metallica, with spe. Maren Morris has crossed musical paths with greats like Alicia Keys (shoutout to CMT Crossroads) and actually once covered Queen Ri-Ri herself, so it’s no stretch of the imagination to say these two songs go hand in hand. There is only one Rihanna and only one performance like this. If you’re ready to get into your feelings a la Ri-Ri, “Just For The Record” is the post-relationship side of the coin.

Here’s Christensen’s recording, which throws in a bit more grit and guitar:Ī recent release, Silvas’ “Just For The Record” is smoky, emotive goodness, a solid mix of grit and heartache. The song was written by Chris Gelbuda and Dustin Christensen (who you might recognize from Season 9 of The Voice). Dann singt sie mit sanfterer Stimme zwei Zeilen und dann wird sie wieder kraftvoller. Nach dem ersten ta eine kleine Pause und das dritte langgezogen.

The song gets a bit bluesy, begging for commitment or mercy. Gesang: Frauenstimme, markant, eher tief und rauchig Sie singt in der Strophe kraftvoll 4 Silben, dann kommt eine Pause und eine Art Orchester macht: ta, ta taa.

This slow-rolling ballad, punctuated with soulful electrics, hits that same love-is-pain chord as “Love On The Brain.” With some imagination stretch, it could almost lean soul if Nelly can cover “Die A Happy Man,” we want to hear a rhythm & blues take on Brandy.ĭustin Lynch – “Love Me or Leave Me Alone”ĭustin hasn’t released this yet, but he’s been playing it out live, and trust us, you’ll be hoping the Tennessee native releases that record soon.

But if you dig Rihanna’s gutsy and bombastic croonings on her emotionally gripping “Love On The Brain,” we’ve got some Nashville-grown tunes you’ll find yourself looping, whether you thought you liked country or not.īrandy Clark is a songwriting savant and “You Can Come Over” is among her finest examples: heart-wrenching in that all too real “ well, shit” way. We know what you’re thinking: yeah, right.
