Tom Walker’s “Just You And I” (2019 version) was on loop for about an hour in the place I went for lunch today until I gave up and asked for a manager. It is now at the top of my list.

morrisp has already posted it but Herve Pagez/Diplo/Charli XCX's "Spicy" (i.e. the Wannabe cover) might be the worst song of the year; it's certainly the least necessary

This sounds like the theme song to an early 90s "heartland" sitcom. If this is the best country music can do, burn the genre to the ground and start over.

the album is excellent but thanks for your input

ya I'm not huge on that particular song myself but co-sign
― Simon H., Thursday, 12 September 2019 13:35 (four years ago) link
it's the weakest song on the record definitely but it's not "burn the genre to the ground and start over" material
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 12 September 2019 13:36 (four years ago) link
It’s a terrific song; I knew I’d be buying the album as soon as I heard the chorus.
― #YABASIC (morrisp), Thursday, 12 September 2019 14:09 (four years ago) link
I haven't listened to the highwomen album but that song is indeed not good -- I still can't believe someone recorded a cute pun on "Designing Women" in 2019 and claimed it was new and fresh
― like, I’m eating an elephant head (katherine), Thursday, 12 September 2019 17:25 (four years ago) link
(and "designing women" was already a play on words, too)
― like, I’m eating an elephant head (katherine), Thursday, 12 September 2019 17:26 (four years ago) link
I avoided this because my complete non-appreciation for most country music is well-known by this point and probably tired, but not nearly as tired as this song. It sounds like something characters on Glee would write as part of a special country-themed episode.
― brigadier pudding (DJP), Thursday, 12 September 2019 17:27 (four years ago) link
i like their cover of "The Chain" a lot; "redesigning women" is a bum track but maybe the most likely one off that album to get some pop country radio coverage?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 12 September 2019 17:28 (four years ago) link
They're good singers! I just don't want to hear them sing this.

I can't imagine what must be on the album that this track is the closest to, like, a jason aldean song

this is spot on, i think. album is good, this song is corny and clumsy but absolutely makes sense as a single / radio hit because most people are corny and they like clumsy
― alpine static, Thursday, 12 September 2019 18:50 (four years ago) link
corny and clumsy aren't really the issue with it (I like both of those things) -- it's just dated and fusty
― like, I’m eating an elephant head (katherine), Thursday, 12 September 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link
It's not an album full of cutting-edge song styles!

not to judge but it's weird for her to big-up her looks on a single that doesn't have her photo on its cover?

― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Monday, 23 September 2019 05:45 (four years ago) link
I actually can't believe people are still spelling out the song's title and calling it a chorus. Aretha gets a pass because she was probably one of the first but jesus christ, "G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S?" Someone got paid to write that?
― Paul Ponzi, Monday, 23 September 2019 12:57 (four years ago) link
100 gecs are fairly unlistenable to me but definitely don't belong in this thread
