Well, I'm real disapointed with Blake. Since he's been on the voice, and gone Hollywood, he's turned into an egotistical person. Those fans are the people that made you. I wonder how Miranda feels, she's pretty crude too. I won't be listening to his music anymore, due to lack of respect for others.

Very exciting to see the turnout every year for country thunder! They are always so well put together and thought through such as things like septic tanks, entertainment and more. Good read!

Zac Brown nailed it..."the worst song I've ever heard". Could not agree more and I love country music so much so please stop ruining it Dallas Davidson, Chris DeStefano, and Ashley Gorley

I like the way all the positive feedback on this song you delete, but you keep the one guy who says something negative. Your sites a joke.

Not true: you have to hear the song.

If it is similar, it will also be similar to at least 100 other songs.

The catchy riff in the song is exactly the same as a 1990s song by singer and BMI songwriter Ted Munda, " Tonight I Want To Know".Produced by Bill Chrysler.

Autographed?! So cool. Personally, I'd love to have the signed album in my collection because I dig the true-ness that Mr. Rucker brings to the country table. With a lot of country artists that are popular right now, I wonder how many are really being themselves and how many are just copying the guy or gal before them. With Darius, there's no doubt in my mind that it's him and purely him when he sings and performs. I love that and that's one reason I have so much respect for him. I'm also a drummer that plays in country bands in and around Nashville and the bar patrons from Key West to Duluth are screaming for "Wagon Wheel" 5 times a night... so it's only fitting I have Darius Rucker's version in my collection as well. =)

I agree, I don't get how some can even think it's sexist, the sentiment of wanting a cool chick who will cook ... do things with ... is a universal one IMO, every male (& female) wants somebody who can be there for them, do special things for them and with whom they can do anything with (cook, talk, travel, have sex, etc) -- I think that's all there is to it, others though put a sexual connotation to it

Are we going to keep on condemning him for being a FORMER drug addict and alcoholic? He is sober now and has been for years...I applaud him for cleaning up, staying clean and for moving forward after his fall from grace --- if he wants to sing songs that refer to a past that only means, for me, that he hasn't wallowed on it and condemned himself of it

This is a pop/hookup song for clubs.
Not a country song.

“Little Bit of Everything”~ Keith Urban: Single Review

posted in Reviews by mkat19

“Little Bit of Everything”: Keith Urban ~ Single Review

It has been nearly two years since the great Keith Urban has released new music to radio, with the exception of the powerful, yet forgettable, “For You”, a song penned for the soundtrack of the 2012 military film, “Act of Valor”. I, for one, have missed Keith, passing the time by blasting Defying Gravity (in my opinion, his best work) on repeat and watching him play the role of the sole authentic and beneficial judge to grace the American Idol panel since Simon Cowell’s departure. As the Idol finale draws nearer (Thursday, 8/7 CT on Fox) and his Light the Fuse Tour prepares for unveiling in July, Keith is back with brand new music and a familiar vibe that has been missing from country radio.

“Little Bit of Everything” is the first single from Keith’s upcoming and untitled ninth studio album. The song is comfortingly Keith, from the opening guitar plucks to the closing electric notes, all the while adding another song to the now-staple category, country-pop. The lyrics encompass the familiar, almost hackneyed, topic that saturates the radio at this time of the year: the desires to kick back, relax, and not have a single care in the world. Keith and his co-writers paint a typical picture lyrically, describing the lonely narrator wistfully wishing for nothing more than to chill out with a strong drink and a good song without guilt or responsibilities. I don’t need much of anything/I just wanna sing a little chill song/get my groove on/pour something strong/down in my drink. The lyrics are simple, yet relatable; Keith’s delivery improves the somewhat lazy song, enveloping listeners with his sultry voice and making them crave to be on a beach somewhere with a martini in one hand and an iPod in the other.

While the story is one I have heard multiple times, I am willing to forgive Keith, if only because I’ve missed hearing him on my local country station. “Little Bit of Everything” is destined to be a summer hit, joining a group of mediocre, but adequate songs like Brad Paisley’s, “Beat This Summer”, Blake Shelton’s, “Boys ‘Round Here”, and Zac Brown Band’s, “Jump Right In” on country music’s summer playlist of 2013.

Grade: B

You must have real insecurity issues if you call this song sexist! Totally ridiculous. There is absolutely nothing sexist about this song at all. If I want a man to mow the yard, or take out the trash, or love me when I want, is that sexist too? This article and your comments are outrageous.

I agree with this article 100%. I'm a HUGE Keith fan and this song was a total disappointment. If this song was by any other mediocre, pop-country artist, then I'd probably be okay with the it. But this is Keith Urban we're talking about. He doesn't need to rely on these over-produced, pop, digital synthesizers to make a good single. He's a musical GENIUS, and in my opinion, one of the best guitarists in the world. Don't forget that the song has a very weak guitar solo at the end. I suck at guitar and I can probably play that solo. The sexist part also really bothered me. I've always found his lyrics to be respecting toward women, not this song though. I find the lyrics in this song to be very degrading to me as a woman. This song just makes Keith sound desperate, and as a result, this song feels extremely forced and it lacks passion and emotion.

It's just a song folks. Artists don't have to sing about real things, you know.

Calling it sexist is the most ridiculous things I have ever heard of. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. You read waaaaay more into this song than needs be. This is a great catchy tune.

He's done meaning-free, fun songs before ('Put You in a Song' comes to mind) but they've always been of a higher quality than this. I don't mind drink references in songs but coming from him it's just a strange choice.

With this song, I just can't help but feel it's an attempt to keep up with what the cool kids at country radio are doing right now.

If you have to "try" to enjoy it, doesn't that tell you that it's not working for you. It's ok not like one song of your favorite artist.
