Nashville duo The Southern Gothic return on July 6 with their brilliant new single Straight Up, a fantastically unique take on the Paula Abdul hit. It’s not a song you’d instantly think of them covering, but they do a wonderful job with their cover that sees them following up on past hits, including their #1 CMT Pure Country hit 12-Pack Sheets Down. Again, the pair have provided an outstanding mix of Americana, rock and country music. Straight Up further enhances their growing reputation and shows a natural growth and progression that pushes them to the forefront of the genre and puts them on the map in Nashville and beyond.
The production level of these guys is intense but, on the other hand, the care of the sounds they release is at the level of those who do things because they want to and with the time they really need. Hence, these are productions that when you get closer closely you get trapped by the halo that it gives off. The sound is marked but without burdening us, an oldschool touch (authentic) and a rather cheerful and festive general tone, are some of the adjectives that we can pull off our sleeves if we want to describe this innovative proposal.
