We previously featured Bryant Thomas for Alabama Moonshine – a soulful anthem of Southern spirit and freedom, as well as his timeless exploration of vulnerability and redemption, Enough, so when we heard that the star was back with Settle Down, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
Establishing the mood with a dimensional guitar soundscape, and astral frequencies, Bryant Thomas opens Settle down with an emotive energy as he shares his desires with the lyrics, “I just want to buy a little house, somewhere on the edge of a small town, a place where I can put my roots down, I don’t even see them big crowds, cause you’re the only one I see now, you really make me wanna settle down…”
The opus expands with Bryant’s signature, captivating timbre and a textured, contemporary beat as he shares his genre expansive universe with us. Settle Down is about wanting a quiet, simple life with the person he loves. The talented artist dreams of a quaint abode where he can be together with his muse. He reminisces on a more simple past – just the two of them relaxing together, with no one else around.
Every time that his love leaves, he feels empty and sad. He wants to go back to those peaceful, happy times and never lose that closeness again. Even though the singer sees himself as flawed – calling himself a loner, stoner, reject, and sinner, he feels better and more whole because of his muse.
We appreciate the innate authenticity that transpires from the track, and the emotion depth that Bryant Thomas conveys with his prose and relatable energy. As for the production, it is pristine, the build is anthemic and his delivery is absolutely hypnotic.
Naturally, we have added Settle Down to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Bryant Thomas, including Alabama Moonshine, and Enough.
