Sam Hunt


Newcomer, Sam Hunt, is on the rise in the country music world and country fans are taking notice. Hunt is an American country singer-songwriter who is known for writing hit singles for Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, and Billy Currington. In 2014, it was time for Sam Hunt to make his way into the spotlight as a singer-songwriter in the country music industry, and mark his own place in the pop-country genre. Hunt signed to MCA Nashville and released his debut album called "Montevallo" and I have to say, every song on his album happens to be my jam.

The most unique aspect of Hunt's talent, what distinguishes him from other new artists, is that he doesn't write his songs with a specific genre in mind, but rather he follows his instinct. Hunt's music contains elements of country, R&B and pop, and I love how he has such a distinct sound, it's his own, it has it all, "it's bro-ness." 

When you listen to his entire album, you know that can only be Sam Hunt's music. The way he pushes the boundaries of traditional country music, adding a modern flair, makes his music more than just another album released by a bro next door, and that's what has put him on the map.

 Following in the footsteps of country duo Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt is proving to country fans why the current "bro-country" trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon. This new take on country is making everyone wonder what "bro country" is doing for country's popularity. The bottom line is, that whatever bro-country is doing for country right now, it's working. It's popular music, and everybody wants a piece of country music these days. 


 Hunt's latest single, "Take Your Time" is a mid-tempo ballad with a "half-spoken, half-sung delivery" about a man approaching a woman and expressing a desire to know her more closely. The lyrics point out all the things a man doesn't want to take away from a woman, just her time to spend with him. It's a catchy love song, that I can't stop listening to and I'm sure it will have the same effect on you once you hear it.

       Be sure to download Sam Hunt's debut album on iTunes now, and take a listen to his latest single "Take Your Time" by clicking on the links below! 
    Once you hear his stuff, you'll instantly become just as obsessed with his music as I have.

                                    Move over Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt is here to stay.
