Mitchell Tenpenny’s music is country at its most modern, informed by Top 40 pop and R&B, but its roots extend back to the golden days of the Nashville sound. He broke through as a songwriter in 2016 with Granger Smith’s stadium-ready “If the Boot Fits”. Tenpenny’s solo hits showcase a more distinctive personal style: 2018’s slick and soulful “Drunk Me” and the viral 2021 smash “Truth About You”, written in his self-described “farm emo” style.
