LEWIS BRICE - She Loves My Country - Independent Release
These past eighteen months have provided monumental movement for singer-songwriter Lewis Brice, releasing his debut album Product Of and stamping the core balance of his signature sound through very well-received singles such as “Seeing Summer,” “Thanks for the Heartbreak,” and the ultra-powerful “Shadow.”
With his first new music since the album release, Brice blends his alternative rock influences into a modern country atmosphere that swarms his unmistakable drawl and highlights his crafty, wordsmith essence.
“She Loves My Country” is available now on all streaming and digital platforms.
Set note by note to the tune of Puddle Of Mudd’s smash hit “She Hates Me,” the intriguing simplicity of the country plucked instrumentation laces the memorable melody, brushing a unique vibe into its familiarity while allowing space for the edgier rawness of his vocal strides to paint the lyrical picture of the country loving girl who’s captured his attention.
Playfully dropping quips into each of the verses of her country music aura and undeniable love of the outskirt lifestyle, Brice checkmarks Nashville’s most famous neon lit street, her down-home roots and farmgirl drawl, “parking” down by the water tower, and her infatuation for a man with a little red on his neck.
Hitting the stride of the singalong chorus - especially during its second go ‘round - the melodic drive lifts into an alternative strike that expertly mimics the original structuring of the song, allowing Brice to hit a gritter aspect of his vocal as he passionately sings:
“She loves my country
Yeah, she loves my country
La la la loves
My F150, singing Whitley
Sitting pretty, riding shotgun
She said I blew her away”
Like with Dustin Lynch and Jelly Roll’s “Chevrolet” or Chris Young’s “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” Lewis Brice borrows from a uber popular song of the past to capture familiarity into a perfect combination of every aspect of who he is as a songwriter and artist while offering a first look into the start of his next chapter with an exhilarating tribute to one of his strong musical influences.
