Kane brown one thing right full#

Joshua Minsoo Kim: Kane Brown’s vocal melodies are slick enough for this to have been an enjoyable crossover hit, but the guitars are too distractingly bright or jagged on multiple occasions to go down smooth.

While Kane Brown might have written “One Thing Right” as a country song, the nondescript storytelling pushes it further into the monogenre and the only real signifier that this was ever a country song is that slight twang in his vocals. The collaboration is also expectedly, completely middle of the road.

Michael Hong: “One Thing Right” feels like the complete midpoint between Marshmello and Kane Brown, Kane Brown’s aching R&B vocals with an earthy country twang layered over Marshmello’s lifeless instrumental reaching for some release that comes out as a too-short muted drop. “One Thing Right,” in presenting itself as a straight pop-country track until a drop which nudges towards Marshmello’s usual bombast with soggy-pancake force, does neither of these things, simultaneously a poorly-stitched crossover not a part of either field and yet a carbon copy of a carbon copy of better songs in both.

Will Rivitz: The rare country/EDM crossover that works tends to either go full neon (“The Middle”) or revel in its genre-unmoored iconoclasm (though I don’t particularly like it, I understand the power of “Wake Me Up”). Kane Brown’s collaboration with Marshmello gets one thing right: the high, lonely pedal steel guitar. I’m not surprised that Kane Brown is the next country artist to cross-over to pop radio, I am a little surprised that the song he’s doing it with is so middle of the road.Īlfred Soto: Don’t blame “Old Town Road” for alerting audiences to country’s syncretic nature. Until we hit the bridge, the song is a fairly solid game of “is this pop music with a huge country influence or country music with a huge pop influence.” Unfortunately, that fun genre blend is pretty much the only thing interesting about this song. Katie Gill: Strictly defined genres are dead, long live strictly defined genres. Wayne Weizhen Zhang: One point, seems right.

Marshmello has had Justin Bieber, Logic, Migos, Selena Gomez, Bastille, and many other pop icons featured on his tracks, but never one that came out of Nashville. In the past, Brown has recorded songs with R&B artist Khalid, pop-singer Camila Cabello, and pop-Latino artist Becky G. “One Thing Right” is a perfect fit for Brown and sounds like a song that could’ve been featured on this album. His most recent album Experiment is properly named as he experimented with a bunch of arrangements of music from all different genres, giving him a unique sound like no other artist in the genre right now. However, when the chorus comes around, Marshmello’s synth and bass-heavy beat come in behind the vocals, giving it a catchy electro-pop sound. Listening to the verses, one can easily mistake this track for a country song, as Brown displays his Tennessee drawl. The one thing he did get right though was his wife, Katelyn Jae. “Been the kinda guy girl’s mamas don’t like / Runnin’ with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights / ’Cause I’ve been wrong about a million times / But I got one thing right, you”īrown sings about how he has faced many hardships throughout his life and that he has often been on the wrong side of things. Marshmello’s new single “One Thing Right” featuring the 2018 AMA Favorite Male Artist dropped Friday at midnight.
