Wannabe by Dylan Schneider (@dylschneider)

Here is a new artist kind of fighting for his place in country music. He just put out a new EP on his own. It’s still kind of cool to me that there are very few barriers to getting music out to the masses today. You can release music on YouTube and on Spotify and it can get attention. I wouldn’t say that it’s easy, but you can make it happen.

This artist is Dylan Schneider. I think he’s got something pretty cool with the title track off the EP. Let’s check it out.

Wannabe – Dylan Schneider

So the play on words here is that we can all be called a wannabe at different points in our life. We might want to be something that we’re not. We might want to be part of a group when maybe we don’t really fit in at the time. We might want to be something in work that maybe we can’t quite do just yet.

But the hook here is that this guy doesn’t care if a girl calls him a wannabe as long as that means that he can be the guy that is perfect for her. He wants to be all the things that she’s looking for in a guy and he’s ready to make that step. He’s just waiting for her response.

That’s all wrapped up in a melody and sound that’s pretty cool. It’s kind of a mix of Sam Hunt with a little Cole Swindell and Thomas Rhett. It’s different and pretty cool.

What do you think?
