Tom's Country View

"But I’m ten years in now, I’ve got two kids, and at 43 years old, I want to say some different stuff. So that’s how you get songs like 'Numb' and 'Loved Them First'. Whereas those songs have been weeded out before because they weren’t brand-consistent with the party country guy thing. "   (Tim Hicks / halifaxpresents.com, November 9, 2022)

"Above all, this new EP from Ballerini is a powerful ode to the messiness of love and loss. It’s Ballerini at her best – raw, vulnerable and honest, with open songwriting that is universal and deeply personal. This project is a triumph and will be a healer to many."

"That line that goes ‘For the record, shit, throwin’ in the towel takes some effort, so I’d rather ride it out for better weather.’ That is one of my favourite lines. That sentiment is so true, man. Throwing in the towel takes more effort than actually working on a relationship sometimes."   (Bailey Zimmermann / entertainment-focus.com, November 23, 2022)

"It’s so easy to notice what makes us different. And that spirit of division is a real thing that we’ve all been so surrounded by this past little while. I do think that music and that collective spirit of coming together at a show is so very important for human beings to experience. And I wanted to capture all of that to put in this song."   (Tenille Towns / Apple Music, April, 2022)

"We wanted to incorporate hip hop, line dancing, a little bit of ballroom, a little bit of jazz and musical theatre. Tyler is almost genre-less, so we really worked with Maya Taylor [the choreographer] to mash different worlds of dance and then when we got Terry in there, we really had him kinda putting his flare and character into it."   (Alexa Stone, Video-Regisseurin / YouTube, 21.
