Thomas Rhett teases musical shift, new sound | Music City Minute
In a bustling music hub such as Nashville, artists are a dime-a-dozen. That said, a musically versatile artist would likely have more opportunities than the one-trick pony. Over the years, plenty of country stars have dipped their toes into other genres. Take for example, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, LeAnn Rimes and Taylor Swift, who all had successful forays in Pop music. Meanwhile, Johnny Cash, Hardy and Carrie Underwood have expertly blurred the lines between Rock and Country on occasion. Then we have folks like Dierks Bentley, who is just as comfortable playing Bluegrass, as his mainstream hits.
Interestingly, Thomas Rhett has given this topic a lot of thought. The "Life Changes" singer admits he would love to give Motown a shot, complete with a six-to-eight-piece band, which actually is not too far off from his current sound. With that in mind, prepare to have to "timbers shivered" - because Rhett's true crossover dream is to write and perform Rat Pack, Las Vegas-esque crooner tunes with a full orchestra. The 35-year-old goes on to say that he cannot promise it would be good, but it would definitely be a fun experience. Personally, I think he should git-r-done, sooner rather than later.
