Dylan Scott – the Multi-Platinum, Award-winning country artist – has returned with his brooding and reflective ballad, ‘I Hate Whiskey.’ Tainted by the memory of heartbreak, he hopes to numb his strong emotions – only to be faced with stronger feelings than ever before. In this dark, enchanting masterpiece, he crafts a vulnerable story of the breakdown of love, in anticipation of his forthcoming third offering ‘Easy Does It.’
Merging traditional country with a dark-pop essence, ‘I Hate Whiskey’ is wrapped in intense emotion and an evocative vocal performance, interwoven with haunting sliding guitar lines. Intimate yet deeply relatable, Scott creates a truly powerful experience through a stripped-back tapestry of sound, allowing his profound words to do the talking. The concept of turning to alcohol reflects on emotional complexities, and how this false solution can cause further issues. It’s a double-meaning that stings, and will resonate with many.
With 4 billion streams, five No.1 singles and a win for Best Video at the CMT Music Awards, Scott is becoming a prominent voice in the Country scene – and he’s not stopping here. With the forthcoming release of ‘Easy Does It,’ an 11-track collective infused with warmth and depth, his old-soul and signature emotional depth is set to embark on a rapid ascent.
