Country’s leading powerhouse Dylan Scott has finally unveiled his highly-anticipated fourth album, ‘Easy Does It’ - and it does not disappoint. The Louisana native reveals a collection of serenading love songs, yearning ballads, authentic anthems, and a heartfelt ode to the small town that raised him, marking his most compelling offering to date.
Scott opens with ‘What We’ll Never Have,’ the career-defining single dominating country radio - which garnered a grand total of 300 million global streams so far ahead of the album’s awaited release. Penned alongside his brother, Logan, tour manager-meets-guitar player Robbie Gatlin and songwriter Ricky Rowton, it’s no wonder this heartwarming number continues to rise on Airplay. It’s instantly infectious, combining chorus-heavy anthemics with romantic confessions over a seamless guitar-led soundscape.
Whilst he kicks off the collection on an uplifting note, Scott soon delves into intimate territory, confronting his demons in the brooding ‘I Hate Whiskey’ to painting an all-consuming portrait of heartbreak in the melancholy ‘Easy Does It.’ Throughout, the hitmaker crafts songs that feel universally resonant, honoring his roots while drawing from personal reflections on family, gratitude, and commitment. The result? A masterclass in honest songwriting infused with a strong melodic sensibility.
Scott doesn’t shy away from raucous, high-energy tracks such as ‘Country Till I Die,’ blending rock-n-roll grit with a fearless celebration of the genre - an electrifying anthem that shows he’s never abandoning his musical upbringing: ‘I’d never trade it for nothin.’ With a trademark snarl and guitar solo frenzy, he encapsulates the radiant spirit of his live shows and devotion to his equally captivated fanbase across the States.
This album is a certified no-skip triumph. Scott’s most recent no.1, ‘This Town’s Been Too Good For Us’ - recently performed on NBC today - is a soul-stirring highlight, making it appear like he’s reached a musical peak. Yet then he strips it all back on the nostalgic ‘Back Forty,’ a graceful tribute to the beauty of life’s simplicities and unveiling more depth than ever before. As the star recently stated, he’s unable to perform the soul-baring ballad without picturing the Nashville farmhouse where his kids grew up - a reflection of its gentle lyricism that speaks to the heart.
‘ Easy Does It’ feels like a full-circle moment for Scott - capturing both his emotional journey and his rapidly rising career. Beneath the surface, however, lies a deeper realization of what truly matters and a powerful embrace of self-acceptance.“I feel like I’m in the best stage of life so far, and this album reflects that for me,” Scott describes. “I don’t know if that’s because of my kids or being married as long as I have, or if it’s just getting into my 30s, but I don’t stress. I don’t worry like I used to – we just go to work. As crazy as it sounds, I’m in that Easy Does It phase of life.”
Each song reflects the heart of a fulfilled family man - perhaps one reason why his warm, trademark voice has found its way into so many country fans' homes. The sweeping, acoustic track ‘Twice’ delivers heartfelt declarations like “I wish I’d met you sooner,” while ‘I Owe You One’ explores the art of settling down - a sincere thank-you to the love, loss, highs, and lows that have shaped his life.
With ‘Easy Does It,’ Dylan Scott gracefully comes into his own. With six no.1 singles to his name and an upcoming arena debut, he cements his status as an artist at the towering height of his career. To put it lightly: a majestic rodeo of an album well worth stepping into.
You can catch Dylan Scott next week at CMA Fest in Nashville, where he’ll perform at Spotify House on June 6th and at Nissan Stadium on June 8th. If you can’t make it, he’s hitting the road for the ‘Easy Does It’ tour this September and October, visiting 15 cities to bring the album to life.
