Brett Eldredge- "Illinois" CD Review

Brett Eldredge- "Illinois"

"I wanna be that song that gets you high
Makes you dance, makes you fall
That melody rewinds years
One disappear, makes time stall
Wanna be those words that fill you up
Pulls your windows down and keeps you young
Makes you believe you're right where you belong"

Review:

Brett released his second studio album Illinois. Although there were a few songs that I really liked from this album (“Fire,”, “Wanna Be That Song”), I had a really hard time finding the cohesiveness overall. This album is a mix of country with some country-jazz (“You Can’t Stop Me” and “Lose My Mind”), country-rock (“Shadow”) and “Time Well Spent” sounding very much like Jimmy Buffett’s beachy vibe. Brett’s amazing vocal talent can’t be denied but the inconsistent country sound on this album really left me wanting more.
