gone rogue from country music? That seems to be the prevailing response among fans on social media, after Brown took the opportunity Thursday night to surprise-drop what’s being billed as “his first pop solo album,” just one week after thereleased a new record that fans were already describing — and in many cases, deriding — as their flagrant pop move.
Already attracting the most attention is a track done with Shirota called “Swayze,” a pop banger with a risible chorus that plays on the premise of ghosting a relationship: “I can’t be your Tom Cruise, bitch, I’m Patrick Swayze / Every time I get a new bitch I need a new bitch / I’m about to ghost on you, Patrick Swayze / Bitch, I’m Patrick Swayze.
“Make no mistake, the 2013 knitted beanie version of Zac Brown would lay a vicious beat down on whatever the top-hatted Zac Brown has become today,” wrote Saving Country Music. Quoting the lyrics from “God Given,” the site wrote, “You have to download a douchebag translator app from the Google Store just to understand what the hell this guy is saying.
Lost amid some of this blowback is that “The Owl” does include a few songs that at least skew toward country, like a duet with Brandi Carlile, “Finish What We Started,” along with the Southern-fried sexual double entendres of “Shoofly Pie.” And “The Controversy,” somewhat surprisingly, sets aside the big beats at the end of the short album for a tenderly sung acoustic ballad that showcases Brown’s voice in a way few previous efforts have.
