One of the best things about Hard 2 Love is that there are thirteen quality songs, not a few hits with some filler material. The song has a light, fun playfulness to it that really helps the flow of the album. “Don’t Believe Everything You Think” is a fun reminder to not overthink situations because you can never be exactly sure of what is going on in someone else’s mind. It’s a great sing-a-long song with vivid lyrics that is sure to capture a crowd’s attention. “It says what I want to tell people about who I am–that maybe I’m a little reckless sometimes, but I’d rather take a couple of years off my life than take the life out of my years,” says Lee.

The way his voice cracks on the ‘I’ in the third chorus of “I drive your truck/I roll every window down/And I burn up every back road in this town” will cut straight to your heart. Regardless if you have ever had someone in the military or not, there is something about this song that is relatable to so many situations. The struggle with sadness in this song is palpable. He has an uncanny ability to really make a listener feel what he feels.Īnd if that song doesn’t resonate with you, then give to listen to “I Drive Your Truck” and hold back your tears.

Brice co-wrote the song with Phillip Lamonds and Kyle Jacobs, and draws upon both females and males, as they weave the story of a man who is out having a night with the boys but stresses the importance of his girlfriend at home. “See About A Girl” is a groovy tune with drawn out lyrics and a piano based melody. Heartwarming lyrics about trading in bachelorhood for the love of his life paired with an acoustic melody are ballad gold in country music. The album’s lead single, ‘A Woman Like You,’ became his first No.1 single as an artist earlier this month.
That ability, paired with his soul-filled voice, is what makes this album so great (his boyish good looks, and that smile, don’t hurt either).īrice is most well-known for his ballads and he doesn’t disappoint on this album. Many of the songs on the album are co-written by Brice and that comes as no surprise as he has definitely made his mark in Nashville as a quality songwriter. The native of South Carolina definitely made an album with country music rooted at the heart of it, but it’s not twang and fiddles, it’s filled with southern rock and piano and an acoustic guitar.
