Can Michael Ray take things to another level with this new single?
One of the pleasant new surprises in country music the last couple years has been Michael Ray. He just had his second number one song at radio. That’s impressive for a new artist.
I feel like he’s still kind of flying under the radar on the country scene a bit. That could change as it looks like he’s ready to move to his sophomore album. The second album has been a breakout for a lot of artists. It could be for Michael.
See what you think of this new single.
Get To You – Michael Ray
What I like about Michael Ray is that he fits in well with the modern country sound. But he also definitely has the chops of a traditionalist.
There are all kinds of videos of him on YouTube singing the classics. There’s a great one at the Opry with him duetting on a John Conlee classic. Michael does a really good job on that one.
And with this new one he also nails it. The song sounds like a modern hit at radio. And I think it will be. But it also has that undertone of a classic. Something you might have heard somewhere in the history of country. And that’s not easy to do.
The story going on in the song seems to be about a guy that’s ready to move things forward with a girl. But she’s had some relationship challenges in the past. And she’s struggling to get through those before she can move on with someone new.
Chart Estimate: #3
