Artist: Dustin Lynch Single: "Seein Red" Label: Broken Bow Records Release Date: June 24th, 2016 New single from Dustin Lynch coming June 24th according to Country Aircheck. It very well may be a song called "Small Town Boy Like Me", which Dustin's been showcasing this Spring but no word yet. I'll update the thread starter when I'm on my PC. :) I'm expecting an add date in July unless Broken Bow is anticipating some hourly airplay on that particular Friday...

I was just on Dustin's Facebook, almost all of his photos from June 7th til now have been RED, he's definitely teasing something dealing with red.

I hope it's not "Small Town Boy like Me", it sounds similar to so many of Dustin's other songs. I'd like to see him change it up a little bit and release something less generic.

I definitely feel opposite about that last comment (no offense, just stating my opinion).... But I finally saw him twice this past week at CMA Fest (feel like I haven't seen him in forever!) and I thought that song was AWESOME!! The other new one he's doing isn't half as good (yes, that one is more of a party song, cheesier lyrics, etc) but this song really sounds good to me. Sure, it may sound like some of his other stuff but I'd think a lot of people here would be relieved by that because there has been some speculation from one of the latest interviews he did that his new album "isn't going to sound country". Anyways, he said that the new album is in the works and that he'll have a "new single off of it in 3 weeks" so I'm assuming it'll be this one. If it is, I'm excited!!! :)

Thanks. If jhomes87 or 43dudleyvillas wants to edit my thread starters with necessary information, that would be awesome. I can't physically sit on a chair at my PC right now, lol.

Since now I've heard an actual clip I suppose that gives me permission to have an opinion.
I won't say much beyond this: this isn't the first new song where I am wondering at what point other artists decided Chris Lane was a good measuring stick.

That clip does not sound good. Dustin got off to such a promising start with "Cowboys and Angels" but I just haven't liked the direction he's gone since then.

Am I the only person who did not care for "Cowboys And Angels"?
Dustin sounds like he's sticking with what's worked. Generic uptempos.

This is a really weird song. I really want Dustin to stay with his roots, but something's telling me he won't. I can already tell where he is heading with this new album and from the looks of it he could be dropped from the label if this album fails. I just don't think as many people will be buying this one due to this song and the other songs on the album. We haven't heard the album yet, so I guess it's too soon to judge.

It was good at first, but the melody fell flat for me after a.while and then it bore me. I wanna like Dustin because he seems like a good singer, just releasing generic bro-country can only work so long before Dustin has an inevitable flop.

I don't like this song either but the guys coming off of 3 #1's in a row, there's no way he's getting dropped by his label. Also, even though this isn't a very good song country radio will probably eat it up and I think there's a good chance it'll be a big hit.

It's really saddening to see a resurgence of Bro-Country. We have this one from Dustin Lynch. We've got Thomas Rhett's "Vacation", Kane Brown's "Ain't No Stopping Us Now", and Aldean's "Lights Come On". We definitely need someone to stand up for the genre. I think Aaron Lewis is the best guy to do that. He's already released his new single "That Ain't Country". Now all we have to do is hope that radio will play it.

I really hope you're right but between Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett and Sam Hunt I have very little faith in country radio being resistant toward anything anymore, no matter how bad or non country it is.

Have some faith and maybe someone could put together a protest against these 3 artists and many other non-Country sounding artists.

I doubt it will flop (haven't heard it yet but usually my taste as of lately tend to reflect sabre14 so I'll trust what he says) as Dustin is going off 3 #1s ("Hell Of A Night" shouldn't have been a hit since it sold pathetically) and Dustin has a lot of goodwill from rafio.

I actually kind of liked what I heard in the preview. It hardly sounds different than his previous 3 singles at least in style. The intro was kind of long though, wouldn't be surprised if there's a radio edit for that part, since people nowadays have no patience for half minute instrumentals. The steel guitar was still pretty prominent in this though, so that was a nice plus.

The only thing that was country about this was the steel guitar but this is total ear candy. I really like this. Big hit in the making.
PS what's with the funky chucka guitars in country music nowadays? Can think of a few songs off the top of my head that use it: "Fix" and "Room to Breathe".

I was quite excited about this mostly because I loved the visual concept on the promotional shots and single cover. For some crazy reason it lead me to believe they were going for a "darker" kind of sound... LOL

Up on iTunes now.
Talk about blatant trend-chasing. Yikes. It makes it even worse that he has admitted to it more than once.
There is a steel in the mix (I think) but other than that I don't find many redeeming qualities. The backing sounds like Chris Lane made it on Garage Band. The chorus vocal structure sounds like Taylor Swift's "Style" mixed with Maroon 5 (after they started making garbage).
I must say although I miss the sounds of 10 years ago, I much preferred the bro craze to this R&B/Dance obsession.

Its pretty good, but not as good or original as I was hoping. My expectations were probably too high based on the visuals and preview.
