Listened to "Seein' Red" twice this morning, not a fan right away but maybe it will grow on me. If you liked or disliked "Cowboys & Angels" there is no arguing that Dustin has done almost a full 180 from where he started. Dustin had so much promise for the genre. It feels like we could be having this same conversation about William Michael Morgan in 5 years. Enjoy them while they sing country music it's better than nothing.

The preview somehow sounded better. Not sure if I just imagined that or if they changed something between the preview and the song being up on iTunes. This is solid. Personally I don't think they had to play it this safe since he has a decent amount of momentum right now, but if everybody else is doing it then why not right?

Is Dustin inspiring to be like his label-mate Jason Aldean? This song is literally about the same thing as "Mind Reader" (which I never liked despite the steel inclusion), the same thing as "Hell Of Night", the same thing as "Where It's At", the same thing as "Wild In Your Smile."
The only difference is the changing of the sonic elements (rocking electric guitars and R&B style inclusion) as he continues down this generic, uptempo trend he's fixated on. This is totally the label attempting to go safe and trendy to score enough hits to get Dustin to an A-list status -- not surprising, many labels I'm sure attempt the same thing and they have the right to -- but in Dustin's case it's just so blatantly obvious.
It also got some hourly treatment on iHeartmedia stations today.

I'll take the minority stand here.
Unlike "Hell Of A Night" this doesn't sound like a Jason Aldean reject, at all.
I wasn't expecting anything mind-blowing or true genre specific, so I'm not shocked at the sonic delivery.
This is the kind of song where the lyrics don't really matter, the pumping and funky beat paired with the overlapping vocals and echoes would make it too difficult to tell a cohesive story, anyway.
This is Nashville Pop at its best (and superior to his peer's summer deliveries), not even the slightest intent of Country camouflaging; just straight non-genre sound. No shame, all gained. Beat that!
I like it for what it is; and I'm expecting another #1.

I really dig this one. It's a step down from "Mind Reader" for me, but that was one of my favorite male-led country singles of the past year so I expected as much. This is a very fun, catchy song though. I do wish the instrumentation had a little more country flare to it like "Where It's At" or "Mind Reader" and less like "Hell of a Night," but this one is definitely stronger than HOAN, which I agree with trebor in saying that it is the one single of his that does sound like an Aldean reject, imo. His voice sounds fantastic on this, and I really enjoy the melody of the pre-chorus in particular and the reverb on his vocals. It's not as catchy as the BGV on "Mind Reader," but I like that effect. A little more prominent steel guitar would've just taken this one to the next level though. I'm also really digging the whole art direction and stuff for this single (and likely the album campaign to come), too. <3 |

I just can't with this. Dustin has a good voice, but my gosh how many more bland, uptempo pickup tracks does he want to release before we might get a ballad ("She Wants A Cowboy" and "In Your Daddy's Boots are all the proof I need) which Dustin would knock out of the park. Also I am not a fan of the vocal effects that appear on his voice as it sounds disoriented and my gosh overproduced to, I wish I like Dustin cause he seems like a great individual but he still has yet to wow me with a single (imo).

Three things:
A) I really enjoy this. I can see why people wouldn't but for this hated subgenre, this is extremely inoffensive and at least retains some country feel.
B) people understand that what type music Dustin records and releases as singles is very minimally up to Dustin at this point right?
C) with how that era was going, I'm a little surprised they didn't try to release Right Where We Want It

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. Nope - that's the ONLY song on his entire track listing (both albums) that I'm not crazy about/skip over. |

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. What on earth would make you think he's going to "get dropped by his label" if this fails? I can assure you, he won't be getting dropped by BBR any time soon, despite how this era goes. |

I'll be completely honest, I have not yet listened to the song. I'm sure I'll like it though. I know it's getting a heck of a lot of hype right now!

Official audio released to vevo: I never quote videos but what in the hell was that? He looked so awkward. It's just Dustin with different hand gyrations for the entire song, lol. I know this song/style is supposed to be "cool" so a guitar would only prohibit that from being accomplished, but it could've helped give him something to do during this video. This song's lyrics are terrible and I just can't listen to this artist's music without cringing. |

Yay I've read in multiple recent interviews where the interviewee says Dustin has a unique sound unlike anyone else. What the F are these music insiders talking about?!? His music is exactly the watered down crap being played everyday. Unique sound would be your Stapletons , FGL (believe it or not), Eric church and the likes of a few others. THOSE artists have sounds you can distinguish very easily. Not Dustin lunch. Rant over. Back to yard work :) |

Like anything else, it's all a matter of PERSONAL opinions and preferences. I tend to think Dustin is a helluva more unique and distinguishable than a lot of other artists out there right now, even more so than some of the ones you just named. Besides Stapleton of course, lol.

Dustin got 14 adds so he has 25 stations going into his add date next Monday.
I am fully expecting Dustin to be the 2nd most added next week (behind Tim McGraw for obvious reasons). I think for Dustin I am going to say 30-45 adds next week for a total stations next week of 55-70.

I wanted to like this, but I just can't. It sounds like a Jason Aldean album track.

Basically because a lot of artists are having trouble with their singles catching success. A lot of shockers with failed singles. There is no guarantee for Dustin that this one will be a hit. Even Thomas Rhett has slowed momentum now, especially since "Vacation" was released. It's definitely not selling as well as his other singles. Maybe people are starting to wisen up and realize that that song is not worth buying. |

I've determined its production that doesn't do this song any favors. I love the vocal arrangement and the melody is great, but the production sounds sloppy and cheap. Like I said, I still enjoy the song itself, but I really wish the song was produced better.

Even Thomas Rhett has slowed momentum now, especially since "Vacation" was released. It's definitely not selling as well as his other singles. Maybe people are starting to wisen up and realize that that song is not worth buying. Wait, what? "Vacation" is selling extremely well. It's the best-selling country radio single outside the top 22 on the Mediabase chart. Only a handful of songs higher up on the chart ("Different For Girls", "She's Got A Way With Words", "Peter Pan", "Make You Miss Me", and some songs in the airplay top 10) are selling better, but those songs are getting way more airplay than "Vacation" is. I think it's possible that "Vacation" will miss the airplay top 10 because it's probably gonna be polarizing (like Jason Aldean's "1994" missed the top 10), but the song is already a big hit in the making. As for Dustin, he won't get dropped by BBRMG. There's literally 0% chance of that happening. Even if "Seein' Red" doesn't become a hit, the label will still give him several chances. They've seen his potential. Thompson Square's last 3 singles all missed the top 40 and yet BBRMG is sticking with them. I also expect the label to stick with artists like Joe Nichols, Randy Houser, Brooke Eden, and Lindsay Ell, even though the latter two can't seem to catch a break and the former two have lost a lot of momentum in the last little bit. |

Seriously...there is no guarantee that any song by any artist will do good. That's the risk you take when you announce something as a single and send it off to radio. Even if "Seein Red" did "fail," DL has a lot of momentum right now and is coming off of how many #1's in a row? Other than Aldean, I would say Dustin is arguably one of BBR's current biggest artists.

I think Dustin wanted to change a bit for this new single or even challenge himself in something more uptempo.I dont dislike the song but I prefer the same old Dustin that we know,this "Thomas Rhett´s vibe" for him, is not something that I like so much.By the way,the single cover is great.

"Seein Red" debuts at #50 on MB. Dustin Lynch should see a nice jump on BB, as I have him at #45 with a chance of moving up to #44. Dustin should pass Toby Keith, (he mysteriously had an awful week this week) Runaway June, and Easton Corbin along with the two rexurrents (David Nail and Keith Urban), while Dustin will of course have a setback from the two iHeartMedia debuts this week (Brantley Gilbert and Miranda Lambert). But overall Dustin is doing fairly good, "Seein Red" is selling well so I'm thinking Dustin probably has another decent sized hit on his hands.
