For a song that’s trying to aim more soulful and breezier, it’s stifled by blocky textures with no warmth or groove to them whatsoever. In other words, if you were to experiment with GarageBand, chances are whatever you made would end up sounding better than this.
If you’ve found yourself disgruntled with mainstream country music over the past few years, “Details” has just about everything you’d hate – incredibly loud, lousily mixed percussion (complete with snap tracks!), fake drums that only sour whatever romantic vibe this is aiming for, and, later, a sour guitar tone to try and give this song a more “serious” atmosphere. Instead, someone needs to tell Currington it’s not 2016 anymore and to ditch the faux R&B shtick he’s trying to pull on his new single, “Details.” With the easy Jake Owen comparison, even he’s been able to bounce back and find a market for breezy, organically flavored music, which isn’t out of Currington’s wheelhouse. But milking the Summer Forever album for three straight years when it offered very little else was a poor mistake, and that’s evidenced enough by Currington’s last single, “Bring It On Over,” almost completely bombing on arrival.īut hey, the winds of country music are changing. He’s always had that easy-going charm and charisma evident in, say, Jake Owen or Blake Shelton, and “It Don’t Hurt Like It Used To” was certainly a big hit a few years ago. And when it comes to Billy Currington, it’s hard not to see the downfall as his own fault in a way. Granted, unlike that band, certain artists haven’t been as lucky. The long version: Not to repeat myself from my Eli Young Band review, but it truly is startling to see just how many artists have (seemingly) fallen off the face of the earth these past five years. Writers: Mark Trussell, Nicolle Gaylon, Steven Lee Olsen.The short version: “REDNECKER” by HARDY now has a somewhat close competitor for being the worst song of the year with Billy Currington’s “Details.”
