I don’t know what it is about this time of year but country music seems to step it up a notch as the warmer weather climbs on in. Julianne was made famous from her victories on Dancing With The Stars and has decided to take a crack at country music. First of all she’s got the style, second of all she’s got the voice, and third of all she’s got the excitement and enjoyment in her performance. All she needs to do is make it to the home plate.
When I saw this single being released I thought get ready for another negative review (There has been a lot of those recently) because she is not a person that is known for country music but is venturing into it at a time when it is becoming the cool thing to do. I was really surprised the first time I heard it, not because it was bad, but because it was a unique, catchy song that I think will do well on radio.
The first thing everyone knows Julianne Hough from is ABC’s show “Dancing With The Stars” which has been a success and she also has been a success on the show winning it twice. She seems to be good at everything she does as “That Song In My Head” is a great song and is a song that has been in my head all day as it is just about as catchy as they come.
In one way, Julianne Hough could be considered the first member of a new generation of country singers. Scholars and fans alike have noted the evolution of the country genre from the music of the rural lower class to the soundtrack of suburbs. This demographic shift, and the coincident thematic divergence of radio singles, have brought great growing pains as traditionalists struggle to adjust to the new radio environment and rock-pop carpetbaggers attempt to prove their country credentials whilst recording unimaginative and literal songs to communicate the truths that their vocal performances cannot. Julianne Hough may be the first new artist who identifies with the contemporary radio environment by instinct rather than commercial necessity, and as a result, Hough can make much better music than many of her contemporaries.
