Little Big Town







Little Big Town is an American country vocal group. The country group is comprised of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet. The quartet's musical style relies on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead singers and Westbrook and Sweet also playing the rhythmic guitar. 

Singed by Capital Records Nashville in 2012, Little Big Town released their album "Tornado" which produced their number one hit "Pontoon" and got them on the map as the next big country group. In 2014, they released their album entitled "Pain Killer" with the single "Day Drinking" following up with their second single from the record called "Girl Crush."

"Girl Crush" is about a girl obsessing over another girl because that girl stole her lover. It's about wanting to be the other girl in an effort to get him back. On the other hand, it could also be about a girl obsessing over the girl who is with the man that she wants but has never had. That mystery is unclear, which only adds to the allure of this song. 

The chorus line "I wanna taste her lips, yeah cause they taste like you, I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume. I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch, Yeah, cause maybe then, you'd want me just as much, I gotta girl crush" describes all the things a girl wants to have from her ex's new love. The songwriting is superb and really describes the emotion of heartbreak, the music compliments the lyrics by a basic guitar chord and the music is focused solely on the vocal melody. The song gives an effect as if its sung acappella with only the vocal harmonies in the background.

To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of Little Big Town when they first came out, but after the release of their new album 'Pain Killer" I'm hooked. I'm OBSESSED with their new single "Girl Crush" and so far, its my favourite song of 2015.

  1. Just like any genre of music there always seems to be that one person or song that sticks out in my mind that I just cant handle to hear another time on the radio ..I know in your posts that you touch base upon the artist / band themselves and the fact that you adore them, just curious as to what country music/ artist/ or song you don't like, and why?
