Lainey Wilson’s Heartfelt New Release
Lainey Wilson unveils her latest single, “Kinda Love It,” which encapsulates the experience of falling for a bad boy who might bring more chaos than she anticipated. Although she wasn’t on the lookout for a rebel, the undeniable chemistry draws her in, prompting her to follow her instincts and explore where this connection might take her.
A Blend of Styles
This lively pop-country song features contributions from Wilson, John Mayer, Kid Harpoon, and Jon Decious. While the unmistakable country twang and lyrics maintain its roots, the production ventures into pop territory, showcasing a fresh sound for the 12-time CMA Award winner and current Entertainer of the Year. This evolution in her music aligns with Harpoon’s production background, which includes work with artists like Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.
Taking Risks in Love
In the catchy chorus, Wilson acknowledges the potential dangers of being drawn to someone unpredictable, yet she embraces the thrill of the risk. “I got a tiger by the tail/ If it goes to hell, oh well/ And if it kills me, no, I ain’t above it/ Yeah, I hate to say it, but man, I kinda love it,” she sings, expressing a mix of excitement and trepidation.
A Joyful Creative Process
Before the song’s release, Wilson expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “This has to be one of my favorite days in the writing room.” She elaborated on her creative journey, sharing, “Lately I’ve been walking into the writing room without knowing exactly where we’re headed. Against my better judgment, it’s working. I’m discovering that there’s joy in letting the song reveal its own direction. Feels like I’m stepping into something new and enjoying the ride.”
Accompanying Music Video
The lively song is complemented by a vibrant music video featuring Wilson and her husband, Devlin “Duck” Hodges. In the video, Hodges takes Wilson for an exhilarating ride around their farm on an ATV while she joyfully sings along, encapsulating the adventurous spirit of the song.
Upcoming Projects and Nominations
“Kinda Love It” follows Wilson’s recent radio hit, “Phone, Keys, Wallet,” which features John Mayer on guitar and has already reached the Top 15 on country radio. Additionally, Wilson is set to host the 60th Annual CMA Awards and is nominated for three prestigious awards this year: Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Single of the Year for “Somewhere Over Laredo.” Recently, she was also honored with the CMA International Artist Achievement Award.
