Slowheart

Editors’ Notes One can trace Kip Moore’s growth just from his album titles. Up All Night and Wild Ones were characteristically party-rocking affairs. On his third album, Slowheart, Moore pumps the brakes and allows himself to appreciate the journey so far. He shows off his non-country side, peppering his set with nods to alternative and soul. The latter makes itself known in “Blonde,” a biting rebuke of hometown kids who forget where they came from. Despite his maturation, “More Girls Like You” shows the Georgian still knows how to make a party jump.
