Ty Myers, Drunk Love | Song Review 🎵

Ascending teen country singer/songwriter Ty Myers impresses on “Drunk Love,” an advance single from his debut album, The Select.

“All our clothes scattered on the floor / Do not disturb sign posted on the door,” country singer/songwriter Ty Myers sings in the first verse of his self-penned song, “Drunk Love”.  He adds, “Cuervo has a way of cloudin’ minds / It wasn’t supposed to go this way.” Uh-oh! Alcohol and matters of the heart make for an intriguing listening experience.  What makes “Drunk Love” even more special and impressive is that Myers is still a teenager! You wouldn’t be able to tell if you didn’t research his age – he sounds much more mature than 17. “Drunk Love” is the 13^th track from his debut album, The Select, which arrives on January 24, 2025.  Brandon Hood produced this four-minute gem.

Another reason why it is hard to believe that Ty Myers is so young is the traditional sound of “Drunk Love.” The country instrumentation is standard: rhythmic, acoustic guitars, electric guitar, pedal steel, etc.  While the sound is excellent, the ‘star of the show’ is Ty, who delivers authentic, dynamic, and expressive vocals.  With his twang and robust tone, you buy what he’s selling.  The chorus is the centerpiece:

“I’m tired of drunk love

You can only feel the lust when your body’s numb

Another one leads to keepin’ the lights on

Clothes off, decisions you regret

When the sun comes up

Cause it’s nothin’ to speak of

I’m tired of drunk love.”

Yes, the elephant in the room is how drunk the youngster has been, not to mention the details of his drunk love.  Regardless, forget about the age, and embrace the musical excellence and relatability, and “Drunk Love” is nothing short of terrific.
