    Southside is, for most of its 12 songs, a showcase for Hunt's affable charm and playlist-era approach to making music.

    Southside’s experiments are made with enviable effortlessness: It’s a little rough around the edges, not self-consciously provocative. Hunt doubled down on his initial mission—making hip-hop and R&B in country sound hip instead of hokey—and it paid off with this collection of songs that are, more than anything else, fun.

    Mellow, multi-purpose country-pop designed to soundtrack good times at home, on the road, at the office, or at a bar.

    Classic gestures are all over Southside, though Hunt thankfully has no interest in doing something so straightforward.

    Hunt is at his most exciting when he fuses the past and the present (“Let It Down” truly shines bright) into ambitious creations that hint at even greater promise ─ but his second offering is largely a mixed bag.

    There are worse purveyors of bro-country spiced up with hip-hop (here’s looking at you, Florida Georgia Line), and Hunt has an ear for melody, but his reliance on lyrical clichés and hit-you-over-the-head genre fusion makes Southside worth little more than a shrug.

    Fun Country-Pop hybrid album with standout songs like "Hard to Forget" and "Young Once."

    Charming, personal, reflective. SOUTHSIDE, has all the making of a country singer making his mark.

    Um novo country, é isso que Sam Hunt nos dá! Um álbum simples, com músicas que já haviam sido lançadas e escritas, o que não significa que sãoUm novo country, é isso que Sam Hunt nos dá! Um álbum simples, com músicas que já haviam sido lançadas e escritas, o que não significa que são ruins. Claramente SOUTHSIDE é a passagem do Sam Hunt para uma nova fase da carreira, vemos seu ápice nas faixas "2016" e "Breaking Up Was Easy in The 90's", algumas mais cansativas como "Let It Down", outras empolgantes como "Hard To Forget", "Kinfolks" e "Young Once". Particularmente, estava esperando outra obra prima como o Montevallo, então, obviamente fiquei um pouco decepcionado, mas não esperei quase cinco anos esse novo álbum para não dar 10, então tome meu 10.

    O álbum é Perfeito e coeso, um trabalho moderno que não abandona suas origens, uma obra de arte para ser apreciada

    Years too late to capitalize on the success of "Body Like A Back Road", this album is unwelcomed in the 2020 music landscape.
