"It's not a country record, and it's not like anything we've ever done."
Karen Fairchild's words have never rang more true.
On June 10, superstar country quartet Little Big Town and the multi-faceted musical legend Pharrell Williams joined forces on the musically magical 'Wanderlust'.
Although LBT's solid fan base has its criticisms, music lovers of all genres can appreciate the unorthodox, yet surprisingly satisfying pairing of a drum machine, and some down-south country harmonies. Whether the music makes you want to dab or line dance, I think this eight-track, feel good album has something for everything. Below are some of my favorite tracks:
"One Dance": Bust out your cowboy boots and your best moves because the sassy lyrics and addictive beat will have you dancing all night long.
"C'mon": The heart of country and the bass of trap music work well together on this track, which was co-written by Pharrell and Justin Timberlake.
"Skinny Dippin'": If possible, picture the easy-going feel of LBT's "Pontoon" set to the drum machine beat of Janet Jackson's "I Want You". Yeah, hard to imagine, but this strange tune proves to be the jam nonetheless.
The album is currently $7.99 on iTunes. Cheers to Pharrell and Little Big Town for coloring outside the lines of genre and sound to create a purely magical album.
We can definitely use more of that in the music industry today.
