Breland, “Praise the Lord” | Track Review 🎵

BRELAND entertains on the tongue-in-cheek single “Praise the Lord,” featuring fellow genre-bending country musician, Thomas Rhett.

“P

raise the Lord for southern women, Hemi engines, crispy chicken.” Um, sure, 🎙 BRELAND – if you say so!  The black country musician represents a new breed of country music.  Is it a bit polarizing? Perhaps, but if nothing else, he’s interesting. He collaborates with Grammy-nominated country standout 🎙 Thomas Rhett on the laudatory 🎵 “Praise the Lord”.  What else does BRELAND praise the Most High for? “East Atlanta, Country Grammar, and my nana.” Again, to him I say, sure…

The colorful chorus, excerpted above, is the first section of “Praise the Lord” the listener hears.  Next, BRELAND drops the first verse, which continues the praise.  It’s not all Christian of course, as he offers up praise “for my bartender, turns a single into two / We went crazy out there last night, we need saving in this pew.” JESUS!  Thomas Rhett enters the fray in the second verse, thankful for his children, his Chevrolet (of course), and “cold beer conversation and broken cowboy boots.” I guess that’s how they do it in country music!  The music supporting BRELAND and Rhett is bombastic, energetic, and a blend of hip-hop, pop, gospel, and country.  It is something to hear for sure!

Final Thoughts 💭

So, what does one make of “Praise the Lord?” It’s tongue-in-cheek to the n^th degree but certainly entertaining.  I’m not sure that it’s my cup of tea, yet I’m intrigued, nonetheless.  Personally, I like it better than 🎵 “My Truck” – that’s a win.  Some will love it and others will loathe it.
