What Do You Think to Thomas Rhett's new single “Craving You” featuring Maren Morris?
"I'm so incredibly proud of 'Craving You.' It transports me right back to the eighties," says Thomas Rhett. "There's that Phil Collins-sounding drum, the stuttered bass notes. I'm a huge lover of the music from that genre and I think this song taps right into that vibe. And my fans know that I thrive on being unpredictable."
On the day "Craving You" was
composed, Thomas Rhett was scheduled to be at the co-writing session with
“Craving You” co-writers Julian Bunetta and Dave Barnes – but he ended up sick
and unable to attend. Somehow, the song created that afternoon perfectly captured
the sonic palate he was looking for, so much so that it almost felt like
kismet. "Craving You" is sensual and a little dangerous – it's about
wanting to be right back in the arms of a lover, even if you've only been apart
for a minute. To capture that chemistry, he recruited the electric
Morris, with thrilling and pristine results. Thomas Rhett and Morris both bend
the genre of country music in unique, groundbreaking ways, and their
combination is undeniable.
"Every song is written for a reason, but
it felt like this one was meant for me.” Added Thomas Rhett. "I remember
texting Maren and asking if she would sing on the song. She came over and just
blew me away. I was amazed at how much her voice fit the song. Having a woman
on the song made it twice as craving – a guy and a girl, obsessed with each
other. I think that's relatable."
"Craving You" follows Thomas Rhett's
PLATINUM certified sophomore album TANGLED UP DELUXE (The Valory Music Co.),
which includes his recent seventh career No. One and fastest rising single of
his career, “Star Of The Show,” along with the 3X PLATINUM six-week
chart-topping smash “Die A Happy Man.” While surprising fans with a taste of
new music throughout sold-out stops on his 2017 HOME TEAM TOUR, he continues to
usher in capacity crowds with “one of the best Country concerts of the
year" (Peoria Journal Star).
