Mercury Records recording artist Canaan Smith first came to our attention as a songwriter through the success of "Runaway," a tune that he co-wrote with Love & Theft that helped launch their careers. Since then Smith has released his debut single "We Were Us' and has now returned with his latest single "Love You Like That." The slower pace of the song allows him to move his vocals to the forefront as he uses his voice to wrap the lyrics around you, lyrics that are definitely more geared towards the female audience. He paints a picture of how he wants to kiss the girl he's with and also how he would like to move through making their next memory with comparison type of lyrics throughout the chorus that includes "slow as the Mississippi," "strong as a fifth of whiskey," "deeper than Muscadine wine," etc.
With the solid lyrics, the great vocal delivery, and the modern feel that balances between sexy with a singer/songwriter vibe, "Love You Like That" fits perfectly among the pop driven side of today's country and Canaan Smith should easily find a spot on mainstream radio with this song.
You can purchase the song on iTunes and Amazon. Follow Canaan on his website www.canaansmith.com as well as his Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube
As a faithful fan for over 5 years & recently getting the oppurtunity to meet Canaan when I was in Nashville for the 2014 CMA Music Festival I highly recommend checking out his music & following his career. There is not a more genuine and talented guy in country music today.
