Tangled Up

Country artist Thomas Rhett can sing and play guitar, sure—but that’s nearly all he has in common with the style\'s traditions. Instead, *Tangled Up* is a jubilant, Southern-steeped mish-mash of every imaginable type of party music. Skittering, trappy hi-hats underpin Rhett\'s playful twang on the EDM-styled “Anthem”; house and disco-pop flourishes light up \"Tangled\"; \"Vacation\" is a groovy War-meets-P!NK ringer; and brassy, funky NOLA jazz gives \"South Side\" its oomph. It\'s is such a wonderfully fun, all-over-the-place dance party that the actual country songs are its most confounding—yet still gorgeous—moments.
