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

    This is hardly a "new" album - we've heard most of these songs before. '2016' sets up the album and makes you think maybe Sam Hunt has turned a page and has given us a borderline decent country record. But then it's all downhill from there with the same sleazy, generic rap/rnb mixes. Yawn.

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

    Sam Hunt can write decent lyrics, at times. Unfortunately, even when he does, he's let down by a cliched production.

    At this point mixing Hip-hop and Country is nothing new. "Nothing New" is also an apt two word description of this album.

    This is a bro-country record with NOTHING in the way of creativity. Random lyrics about girls, tens of different genres mixed and marketed as songs. Avoid at all costs.

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

    ÁLBUM COESO E ENTREGA BEM O PROMETIDO, APESAR DE TANTO TEMPO DE ESPERA POR UM ALBUM NOVO, HUNT DEIXA UM ÁLBUM BOM COM ALGUMAS MUSICAS DE DAR DESÂNIMO E OUTRAS MUITO SURPREENDENTES

    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 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",Um novo country, é isso que Sam Hunt nos dá!

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.… Expand

    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.

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

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