CODY PURVIS

                                                              "Overnight" 

                                                              Independent Release

There was a time about a decade ago when steamy love songs by artists such as James Otto, Jake Owen, Chris Young, and Billy Currington all ruled the country music airwaves. That’s not to say there isn’t great love songs still being released in the country music genre today, but they just don’t seem to carry that same, all-around sexy vibe through both their instrumentation and lyrics.

However, with its sway along mid-tempo groove combining with lyrics that uphold the ultra-steamy edge of a country love song, Cody Purvis is set to return that style to the country music format with his new single “Overnight.”

“It’s been one of those days after one of those weeks,” opens the song as Purvis quickly lets it be known that he’s talking about his better’s half’s tough week and not his own when he sings that he can hear it in her voice that she’s a little stressed and running on fumes.

However, he has the antidote to help her unwind when the weekend rolls around and opts for a night in with just the two of them and no distractions, rather than a night out on the town.

He perfectly sets the tone through the chorus and in portions of the second verse with several picture painting lines of what that weekend in will look like for them:

“The nighttime candle’s burning, over a Motown record and a bottle of wine.”

“I’ll turn down the lights turn off the phone.” 

“Let me take those worries and kiss them gone.”

This song captures the mood perfectly through its instrumentation, melody, and lyrics, but its Purvis’ voice which is the glue that binds it all together as he uses it in all the right ways to uphold the emotional drive while gripping you into the scene that he sets.

By delivering a sound that’s exactly what’s been missing at country radio, “Overnight” positions Cody Purvis to have his next charting song, which solidifies the feeling he’s expressed having when talking about this song and comparing it to the same way that he felt when he released his breakout hit, “Drinkin’ Terms.”
