Sam Hunt showcases his affable charm on Southside: Review
, the country singer has ridden the singles-heavy streaming wave to massive success: In 2017, Hunt released the winking "Body Like A Back Road," which was big enough to hit No. 1 on multiple Billboard year-end country charts, and nab him that year's Top Country Artist title.
In the ensuing years, Hunt dropped a handful of songs that blended Nashville tropes — heartbroken lyrics, straightforwardly twangy vocals, big choruses — with sampled hooks, hip-hop-inspired beats, and cadences that subtly resemble rap. Those, along with "Body" and a few new tracks, are collected onis, for most of its 12 songs, a showcase for Hunt's affable charm and playlist-era approach to making music.
"That Ain't Beautiful" is the only real misstep on the record, with Hunt taking on the tone of a passive-aggressive email to a frenemy as he tut-tuts the wayward behavior — wearing too much makeup, taking Adderall, overspending, being a lousy wedding guest — of a young woman over atmospheric guitars. "That ain't beautiful/ that ain't you/ You can do better," he croons in between laundry lists of her sins.
Perhaps it was included because of the apologies that bracket the record, and Hunt's belief in redemption. Opening track "2016" is a spacious ballad about giving up the vices that made a year in his love life difficult, Hunt's penitent vocal breaking over gently picked guitar and pedal steel. And "Drinkin' Too Much," a 2017 single that closes, is disarmingly straightforward about the way Hunt's career affected a relationship.
