It perfectly fits the mood of Wallen\u2019s story, in which he reminisces about someone he once loved but whose memory lingers on.\u201d “Built on a sunset country vibe with layered guitars and a daydreamy vocal, it finds the star reminiscing about a romance that keeps getting farther away. But no matter how much time passes, the details of that unforgettable summer are all too vivid, making for a bittersweet anthem full of second guesses.” \u2014\u00a0Sounds Like Nashville<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n “transport listeners to a tropical paradise with its breezy, island-influenced melody.” \n The ACM\u00a0New Male Artist of the Year<\/i>\u00a0nominee furthers his newsworthy week with yesterday\u2019s announcement of his new \u201cHappy Hour Radio\u201d show with Apple Music Country.
