There's lots of people in the world who moan about country music being too poppy these days. Actually, people have probably been moaning about that since the 80s. But if you are one of the rare and beautiful breed (like me) that hears certain country songs and thinks, "This country song sure is great, but it doesn't have enough pop in it!", then Cady Groves is the girl for you. She basically just makes straight up proper pop songs, but her voice is twangy enough and her attitude "fuck you" enough to appeal to modern country fans and pop fans alike.
Her latest single, "Love Actually", is one of those songs where I literally don't know why it hasn't sold a bajillion copies. Sometimes you say something like that just because you like a song so much, but deep down you realize it wouldn't be a big hit even with the right kind of exposure. But this song. This song should be up there kicking the ass of every other song on the charts. It is an absolute MONSTER of a pop anthem. With it being the catchiest thing you have heard in forever and its lyrics detailing a messy romance, it's perfect for singing at the top of your lungs while punching the shit out of your steering wheel (I hope I'm not the only person that does that). Or shouting along while getting drunk with your friends. And I'm just assuming on that one because all of my friends are too straight to like a song as amazing as this.
Her debut full-length is one of my top ten most looked forward to releases right now. So, hopefully we don't have to wait too much longer on that one.
Thanks, Cady Groves, for being brilliant.
