He would probably watch more football, drink more beer, and have more time to spend out on the town with the guys. The man doesn’t hesitate to think about what he’d be doing if he were single. I’m not sure exactly why but women seem to wonder this question along with many other questions from time to time. Out of the blue the woman asks her man what he’d be doing if they weren’t together. They’re sitting around one night watching TV. A Woman Like You is about a man and woman. There are hints of that gravel in the throat, but for the most part Lee stays pretty easy going and it works well on this record.

It worked on those singles, but this is a new style from Lee Brice. On the first few tracks from him he was pretty out there in the vocals. The first thing I notice about A Woman Like You is the more laid back, subdued sound from Lee Brice. Check out A W oman Like You… Woman Like You – Lee Brice And it could just become his next big hit. Now he’s ready to release the next single. Since then he’s been busy working on his next record. Mood will probably determine whether I think the strength of the performance offsets the general disjointedness of the lyrics.Lee Brice had one of the biggest singles of the last two years with Love Like Crazy. It’s a very pretty-sounding tune, to be sure, but the lyrics just don’t quite add up. But the problem remains that the song spends too much time focusing on little inanities.

The bridge ties things together to some extent, explaining that he plays a lousy golf game, his wife makes the best friend chicken, he loves the sound of her name, et cetera. As another significant plus, Lee gives a low-key vocal delivery that works well with the conversational tone of the lyric, while also making for a nice change of pace from the more theatrical vocal performances heard on some of his previous singles.īut my problem here is that I have a hard time seeing why this guy answers his wife’s question by going into all of the hobbies and pastimes he enjoyed as a single man (and would still be enjoying had he not met his woman), only to jolt back to his life of domestic bliss, saying that he’d be all alone and “looking for a woman like you.” That latter development feels gratuitous and underdeveloped, fitting in awkwardly with the rest of the chorus. I particularly appreciate the restrained, acoustic-based arrangement. Woman asks husband, “Honey, what would you do if you’d never met me?”Īnswer: “I’d do a lot more offshore fishin’ / I’d probably eat more drive-thru chicken / Take a few strokes off my golf game / If I’d have never known your name / I’d still be driving that old green ‘Nova / I probably never would have heard of yoga / Be a better football fan / But if I was a single man / Alone and out there on the loose / I’d be looking for a woman like you.” Lee Brice’s new release is a song that sets a casual conversation to music.
