World Premiere! The Band Perry - "Stay In The Dark": Full Audio + Review
Huh… I thought The Band Perry was going to stop doing pop music after the failure that was “Live Forever” two years ago. In 2016 they kind of “fixed” things by releasing the bluegrassy “Comeback Kid” but today, February 3rd, 2017, with the release of their brand new single “Stay In The Dark”, The Band Perry go back to doing pop music and to puzzle hardcore fans once again. Are they still confused or what’s their strategy?
“Stay In The Dark” is being released by joint venture of Mercury Nashville and Interscope Records and by the name of these labels my theory is that The Band Perry plan to give fans a “Red” (as in Taylor Swift’s album) with their upcoming third LP - in the sense there’ll be both pop and country songs in it. Don’t know what caused it, but it seems that The Band Perry truly want to pursue to pop path.
REVIEW: I personally liked “Live Forever” two years ago and I’m really feeling “Stay In The Dark”. It’s well-sung, the melody is nice, and the chorus is so anthemic! Problem is… what will hardcore fans of TBP think of this? ‘Cause if they don’t support, we’re going to have a “Live Forever” situation all over again.
