Gone West - Canyons

[bigfan101]

Debut Album from Colbie Calliat’s country band, Canyons.

They destroyed Colbie's original version of Never Getting Over You. I was so excited for that song, but GW's version is bad :(

They are such a copy of Lady A...

This album is fantastic! I was really blown away by this on first listen, and I've given it a couple more since then. Lots of standouts here and I'm hoping that whatever they try at country radio next does much better than "What Could've Been," which really should've been a smash for them already, but I digress.

I don't hear that at all. I think they sound a lot more like Little Big Town-meets-Gloriana to me.

Album is pretty solid. Hope they can break out with something. I’d go with “Slow Down” next, the driving beat to that one would sound great on country radio. Gives me Little Big Town vibes.

The next single needs to be “Gone West.” It is the undeniable hit of the album.

I liked the album overall but this is true. Their version stinks compared to the original.

The song Gone West was released first was it not?

I really like this album. Definite Gloriana vibes.

Confetti was played on SiriusXM for a little bit. Sounds like a radio friendly song.

It was never released to radio. The only single they've had thus far is "What Could've Been," so anything else on the album could feasibly be released next, including "Gone West." That said, they passed on it initially in favor of WCB, so I wouldn't be surprised if it (sadly) is overlooked yet again. I think it's one of the best options for radio, but there are a few others that are probably higher on the radar right now (like "Slow Down").

“Confetti” Is my favorite song off there album. I think that would be a good single choice.

I'm not sure what bothers me so much, but it's probably how they slowered the song down and Colbie is not even singing a single chorus alone. I listened to the song a couple of times now, but I don't get into it. Gonna stick to Colbie's version.

Slow Down or Knew You has to be the next single!

[Au$tin]

Unfortunately, I just can't get into this album. It's a shame too because I rather enjoyed "What Could've Been" and "Slow Down" prior to the album's release, but the only track on the album I felt really matched that level was "Knew You." The rest were just sort of... there, I guess. Nothing is bad, per se, just not super engaging.

So i got my preordered cd on monday and after about 4 or 5 full listens, i must say i'm very pleased with this album! There really isn't a song i don't like. Of the new songs that were not available before the album release, i enjoy Tides and R&R the most. And, i'll say i even liked their re-worked version of I'm Never Getting Over You. But, i feel like once they move on from What Could've Been, i do still think Slow Down needs to be the next single as i think it would be their best chance at a hit. All in all, very solid album and i hope it connects with people!

I really liked this album.
I’ve been a fan of Colbie’s music for quite some time and even though I love country music, I was hesitant about this group because of how much I liked her solo music. But they’re doing a great job.
They’re country but they have the ‘chill’ vibe that Colbie has on her solo stuff.
I think my favorite of the new ones is ‘Knew You’. I love ‘R&R’ too.
Also, I got kind of addicted to ‘Confetti’ with the album release even though it’s been out for a year.
I don’t know what is the right choice for country radio next, but hope they get the support they need to keep going!

Anyone have a source for the songwriter credits for this album?

[raylatch98]

In case people were wondering, this debuted at #28 on the Country Albums chart

Gave it a couple of listens but tbh apart from the lead single and Gone West nothing stands out for me. Colbie's voice is still pleaseant to hear and the production isn't bad, but it's just sort of there.

Talkin’ Bout You has hit written all over it!
