![]() Treating the trap beat like George Jones did pedal steel allows him to flaunt a conversational cadence: he’s not smarmy, just chatty, honest about not having enough on his mind but knowing that mind well. Samson Savill de Jong: It’s a bit of a grower, this one. First listen I wasn’t very impressed, but repeated listens have revealed its qualities. The lyrics are one - at first I just heard the generic country tropes (“bourbon” “boots” “Chevy” etc), but I think when listened to properly the song tells a story with enough detail that it feels like something that really happened to Wallen. His singing is good too, with enough gruffness to get to the emotions he’s trying to convey. He maybe could’ve injected more emotion, especially in the chorus, but it’s possible that might have just come off as overwrought. The way the rap-influenced drums hit in the chorus are another thing that I came to like, and overall the music sounds good here. Thomas Inskeep: Wallen’s voice on “Wasted on You” is just as whiny as his lyrics. And as for the click-track beat, the less said the better.Īl Varela: The double-edged sword of Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous is that there is enough quality stuff on it for you to pick and choose your favorite songs while ignoring the ones you dislike. That’s bound to hamper the album’s quality as a whole, but it has so many excellent songs that show genuine growth in Wallen’s music that I think the future looks bright for him. Unfortunately, “Wasted on You” is not one of the reasons why. I totally get its appeal, and in a way, it represents Wallen’s appeal pretty concretely. A dark, dour song that wallows in its misery and recounts the regret and heartbreak that he feels over the one who got away. ![]() Problem is, the song is pretty sluggish and not even all that cathartic. The hook is fine, but the trap-like skitter of the drums and the sour chords make a song that never builds to any real emotional climax. That may be the point, but it’s a lot less memorable in comparison to the other sad drinking songs on the album like “865” and “Only Thing That’s Gone”. It does not store any personal data.I get why this was the song from the album to break out, but I am also a little bummed that it’s probably going to overshadow some of the others that are more deserving of being Top 10 hits.Įdward Okulicz: This is one of the most effective hook delivery devices of 2021 so far, and it’s got something for everyone, both what they want, and what they don’t realise they want yet.
