Brothers Osborne on New Song ’21 Summer’ and Making a Bold Statement

“A lot of country tracks tend to be in your face all the time, and we certainly have songs on our album that do that, but [our producer Jay Joyce] wanted it to be more like if you just put on something chill and it’s just an easy song to listen to,” adds TJ. “It’s unassuming because of that, because there isn’t one part that really just, bam, hits you in the face.”
Instead it’s a quiet presence — currently inching toward the Top 40 — that’s as likely to lull listeners into a daydream as it is to make them shout the words out of open car windows. It’s a subtler way of going about it, but Brothers Osborne still found a way to make their statement.
