Sam Hunt - Montevallo

Label: MCA Nashville
Year: 2014
Genre: Country Pop
Recommending Person: Jill Veenhuis

It seems Country has taken the corner from Boy Bands and soul singers about seducing ladies. That's all the Brett Eldredge album from January was about, and it's mostly what Sam Hunt's album is about.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than Eldredge's entry. It is quite a bit more poppy especially the first track, "Take Your Time", which has some influence from recent hip-hop songs. Montevallo is just continuing the trend of Country going pop.
