Instead, he projects the persona of the prickly-yet-repentant bad boy who leans on his swagger even as he exaggerates the labor of confessing his hidden sensitivity.Įven his version of a party jam, lead single "The Weekend," is of a different character than the bulk of those that populated radio playlists.
It was evident all along that Gilbert would never be the country act crooning sweet, settled nothings alongside the Backstreet Boys. If anything, the 32-year-old, Georgia-born singer and songwriter digs in his heels on his fourth album, The Devil Don't Sleep, making clear that he's committed to not only inhabiting but thoroughly exploring a particular kind of bro-ish identity: the tough guy tentatively wading into introspective territory. In the midst of all this recalibrating, Brantley Gilbert, who's behind some of the brawniest country radio singles of the last half-decade, has declined to budge from the approach that helped propel him from the roster of Average Joes, a scrappy hick-hop label operating on the fringes of the country mainstream, to Valory, an imprint of industry powerhouse Big Machine, and then onto the charts. The momentum in the format has shifted in increasingly diffuse directions - to falsetto-exploiting lovermen sensitive types boy band- style romancers introspective brooders rough-edged, self-aware rogues and temperate neotraditionalists.
The perception was that those songs amounted to little more than crass capitalizing on hollow tropes, and over the last year and a half, a significant number of country's male acts - known quantities and newcomers alike - have steered away from bro sensibilities. A few years back, the breezily macho delivery of backwoods come-ons over big, blunted guitar riffs and spindly programmed beats seemed like a reliable and easily replicable formula for hits. m.Few contemporary country trends in recent memory attracted more dismissive responses than bro country did at its height.
