The War And Treaty: ‘Plus One’ – Album Review

/in , , , /by

The War And Treaty share brand new album Plus One, officially out now, February 14th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.

There is no one like The War And Treaty. Composed of husband and wife duo, Michael and Tanya Trotter, the band effortlessly blends uncanny soul with country instrumentation, stunning harmonies, and unique sounds.

On Plus One, out now, the Michigan natives share eighteen new tracks that are uniquely them. Produced primarily by Michael and released via Mercury Nashville, the album offers listeners a blend of passion and pain, hope and heartbreak.

“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” shares Tanya in a statement. “Too often we feel all alone in this world, and when we feel alone it can be easy to succumb to despair,” Michael adds. “One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share themselves with others, and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved.” 

There’s no lead singer in the duo, with each taking lead throughout the album, trading verses like a well-rehearsed dance and harmonizing effortlessly over music that takes listeners on a true aural journey.

The album’s first track, “Love and Whiskey” is an immediate attention grabber, its opening horns and Gospel-tinted harmonies informing listeners that they’re in for something truly special. Co-written with Miranda Lambert, they explore a love that runs both hot and cold. “We’ve been friends with Miranda for a while, and we all got together and decided to write a song about how Michael and I work through those times when we’re not getting along,” Tanya explains. “In the past we’ve been told our sound wasn’t radio-friendly, but over time we started getting attention from country radio,” says Michael. “We’ve been seeing a lot of new artists pushing the envelope as far as what country music can be, so we decided, ‘Why not join them, and push it our own way?’”

While The War And Treaty stick to common themes of love and heartbreak, they venture into sounds and styles rarely heard convincingly in country music. Yet, for the duo, they each sound more authentic than the next. While “Stealing a Kiss” has hints of old school R&B, “Teardrops in the Rain” is a gorgeous piano ballad that wouldn’t sound out of place on a John Legend album. “Lead Me Home” pays homage to the John Denver classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” while “I Can’t Let You Go” finds Michael absolutely spitting fire on a rapped verse.

“Skyscraper” is a hip-hop inspired breakup anthem that immediately stands out. The track, which features vocals from both their daughter, Courtney, and Michael’s mother, Deborah, takes a huge musical risk that absolutely pays off. “When you look up at all those skyscrapers in New York City, you don’t usually think about what it took to build them,” says Michael. “We know that sometimes it takes a lot of pain and struggle and loneliness to get to where you’re meant to be, so we wrote that song to remind everyone that we’re all beautiful skyscrapers with a story to tell.”

Alternatively, “Can I Get An Amen?” is a stomping and soulful Muscle Shoals-inspired romp that takes listeners to church. Here, their relationship is on full display as they trade verses over horns and fiddles in a way that is impassioned and inspired. “The whole song came from being thankful for the seven days a week I get to spend with Tanya, and all the good that can come when I really open up and let her in,” Michael shared.

“Carried Away” follows in a similar vein as they slide from pedal steel to groovy R&B, looking at their marriage and the strong foundation upon which it’s been built. “The most important part about nailing that song was making sure that Tanya and I were in the same room, vibing off each other,” Michael recalls in a statement. “We put our foreheads together and left that space between our lips, and then just moved together like the ocean.”

“Save Me,” “Home,” and “Love Light” are all gorgeous ballads, celebrating the different aspects of a relationship. While “Love Light” is sparse and lyrically simple, their harmonies are truly unmatched as they proclaim endless and enduring love. Alternatively, “Home” offers a poignant confession that allows MIchael to shine vocally.

“I was in a place // Where only Heaven speaks // And the Angels there // They all notice me // That’s when I knew // I’m right where I belong // ‘Cause aren’t we all just trying to // Find our way back // Home”  

“Drink From Me” finds the pair collaborating with legendary bluegrass guitarist Billy Strings, while “Reminisce” is a clever spin on a breakup song. It tells the tale of the family members who become collateral damage when a relationship falls apart.

“There’s no room in your life // For me right now so I’ll fly // Away in the dead of night // Starry skies in the summertime // I will pray for you // Hope someday when I see you // You’ll have happiness // And we can sit down on a park bench and reminisce”

While The War And Treaty shines on ballads, they are also incredible on the more rousing tunes, as evidenced on “Mr. Fun,” “Love Is On Fire” and “Tunnel Vision.” While “Mr. Fun” is almost haunting with its circus-like pianos, the song truly allows Tanya’s vocals to shine. Meanwhile, “Tunnel Vision” allows them to celebrate what they do best. “I started writing that song during the pandemic, which reminded us how we need to stay focused on doing what brings us joy,” says Michael. “It’s about coming out of that experience with a victorious mindset and telling the world, ‘We’ve got a goal in mind, and we’re not going to let anyone or anything get in our way.’”

Plus One ends with “Glorious Ones,” a stirring and poignant look at life, both in the moment and at the end “Do you see // How far we’ve come // Two broken hearts // Become one // Like a screaming eagle // Soars in the sun // I have found love // In a glorious one“

For The War And Treaty, Plus One is truly a labor of love, showing off their love for each other and the music they get to make together.

Kane Brown: ‘The High Road’ – Album Review

/in , , , /by

Kane Brown shares brand new album The High Road, officially out now, January 24th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.

When it comes to journeying down paths untaken, The High Road finds Kane Brown on a new musical path. For the Georgia native, the LP is his most ambitious and musically diverse project to date, allowing him to stretch himself thematically, melodically, lyrically, and even collaboratively.

On the follow up to 2022’s Different Man, Brown explores different sounds, pushing boundaries beyond his typical sound and style. “This is by far my favorite album, from the sequencing to the songwriting to the different sounds. There’s definitely a song for everybody,” he says in a statement. “My other albums, I always kind of, you know, cared what people thought about. And this album, we don’t… we gave our everything into the songs.”

The eighteen song collection features fifteen tracks co-written by Brown alongside of Nashville’s biggest names including HARDY, Morgan Wallen, Josh Hoge, Jacob Davis, Josh Osborne, and more. He also enlists a wide array of collaborators from various genres including his wife, Katelyn, Khalid, Marshmello, Jelly Roll, and Brad Paisley.

Having co-written most of the album’s new tracks, it’s clear that the songs are special to Brown. “Every song is important to me and every collaboration means something personal to me,” He tells the AP. “I’m so incredibly proud of this record.”

The album kicks off with the driving and earwormy, “I Am,” a powerful admission of fear and uncertainty that’s paired with a catchy beat that echoes with resilience and determination to succeed.

“I’m scared of growing up // I’m scared of growing old // I’m scared of falling short // I’m scared of the unknown // Oh, I’m burning on the edge // But I know right where I stand // I know the road ahead // Will make me who I am”

“Fiddle in the Band” is up next, a clear standout that mixes typical country fiddles with stomping drums on the ode to not fitting into one specific box. In fact, it feels like the type of song many music fans can listen to, jumping genres from country to pop to hip hop to rock, all within one playlist.

“I’m just like you // I was raised on the radio // From Memphis blues to Hollywood rock ’n’ roll // Took a trip to Music City // Brought a little bit of everything with me // I’m a little bit of bass, 808s, a little bit of clap your hands // I’m a little bit of six strings on a backbeat // With a fiddle in the band”

Collaborations also play a big and genre-bending role throughout The High Road, as Brown taps into his inner R&B balladeer on “Rescue,” featuring Khalid. Meanwhile, “Miles On It” features Marshmello and techno, dance beats, while “Things We Quit” with Brad Paisley is a tongue-in-cheek pure country anthem.

Brown also pairs with Jelly Roll on the especially poignant, “Haunted,” which finds them trading verses at their lowest. Inspired by a writing session in an old hotel that felt supernatural, Brown and Jelly Roll reveal a new depth of pain and the struggles they face on the road. It’s a dark and moody ballad that deals with the demons that come with fame.

“‘Cause I’m haunted by the voice in my head // I’m haunted by the taste of that lead // I’ve wanted too many times to // Jump off of the edge // Thinking I was better off dead // I’m haunted only every other night // I’m haunted and I wish I knew why // I’ve wanted too many times to be // Gone by the morning // If I’m honest // Yeah, I’m haunted”

Brown slows things down and brings in some romance by pairing with his wife, Katelyn on two very different duets. There’s “Do Us Apart,” a warm and sweeping ballad that would make a perfect wedding song or bookend to their previous duet, “Thank God.” Alternatively, there’s “Body Talk,” a smoky and sultry R&B laden celebration of all the ways in which two bodies can “talk.”

“Backseat Driver” is truly a special moment, as the father of three details the innocence that comes from riding in the car with his child. Here, he muses over his daughter’s sweet and simple questions, hoping those moments last forever. “It’s crazy all the things she sees on the side of the road, Out of that window beside her I wish I could be more like her,” He sings, “My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver.”

“Gorgeous” and “3” also show a softer side to the Georgia native, with the latter celebrating the ways in which his favorite number has played a role in his life, ranging from the size of his family to his baseball jersey to the number of kids he has. Meanwhile, “Gorgeous” is an apt title for the sparse and sentimental song, praising someone that’s beautiful both inside and out.

Brown dabbles with other popular songs in unique ways on The High Road, mixing in the Phil Collins classic, “In the Air Tonight” with his own lyrics on “I Can Feel It.” Likewise, he answers Jennifer Nettles’ desperate pleas from the Sugarland song, “Stay,” with his own song of the same name, telling the sordid tale of infidelity from the male perspective as he implores her not to leave.

Other tunes that find Brown sampling new styles include “Says I Can,” a fun ode to liquid courage and “Back Around,” a twangy and peppy two stepper that is all about karma catching up with someone. Equally sunny and delightful is “Beside Me,” an almost-beachy inspired jaunt that wouldn’t feel out of place for Kenny Chesney or the Zac BrownBand.

The LP ends with the startlingly honest, “When You Forget,” a beautiful tribute to his grandfather who passed away after battling Alzheimer’s.

“Your memory’s fading // It’s breaking my heart // If you look in that mirror // And wonder who you are // You’re still our hero // You’re still the man // A hell of a father // And a damn good friend // You could fix any problem // With a wrench or some words // The backbone of our family // In the front of that church // You kept every promise // For worse or for better // I’m writing you this // So, when you forget // You can remember”

For a consistent superstar like Kane Brown, it would be easy to rest on his laurels and stick to a formula that’s been successful. Yet, on The High Road, he does just the opposite, taking risks and experimenting with new sounds and styles. And while it may have been a gamble, it certainly paid off.

Country Swag Picks:

  1. Fiddle in the Band
  2. Backseat Driver
  3. Haunted ft. Jelly Roll
  4. Miles On It
  5. I Am

Kane Brown & Katelyn Brown Earn Number One at Radio with “Thank God”

/in , , /by

Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown earn their first number one at country radio together with “Thank God.” Learn all the details here.

Everyone in country music knows that Kane Brown is a superstar in his own right; however, fans might not have always known that his wife, Katelyn is a talented singer too. The twosome combined their talents and love on a cut from Kane’s album Different Man called “Thank God.” That little song is now the number one single at country radio!

The exciting news marks Kane’s ninth number one single, and Katelyn’s first. Of course, the superstar gives his wife all the credit, sharing on social media this kind sentiment – “My baby got her first number 1 ❤️ thanks country radio and fans for blowing this one up.”

Katelyn followed suit sharing this message with fans, “I don’t even know what to say. There are absolutely no words big enough to express the feeling. I truly thought this song would be just a really cute cut on his album and now it’s the #1 song. What is even more special is the fact I get to do this with the love of my life and our baby girls get to watch mom & dad. I melt. My heart is filled with so much joy and gratitude and I can’t thank everyone enough for the love & support and for loving this song as much as we do ❤️ THANK GOD 🙏🏼 xo.”

“Thank God” is surely a special kind of love song, and it is no wonder that it catapulted to the top of the charts. Congrats to the Brown’s and their team!
