Adam Hood opts for a groove-based song for his latest release. “Four on the Floor,” on which he teams up with genre stalwart Brent Cobb, finds Hood dancing with funk and blues, all dolled up in a country exterior. “I like my lonely, like my vices / Empty pockets red beans and rices,” he opens the first verse, a no-fuss lyric that speaks to his spitfire ways. “I don’t need no woman to tie me down / I’m a roly poly, rolling around.”
Hood unloads the lyrics like skeet shooting. They fly into the stratosphere without any clear destination. Sometimes, that’s all a song needs. “Sometimes a song doesn’t have to follow a deep narrative; it can just be a fun, free-flowing expression,” says Hood in a press statement. “The lyrics came from casual conversations, and we laid them over a really greasy, feel-good groove.”
“Four on the Floor” is a guitar-soaked barn-burner. It goes for the jugular while paying homage to the roots of country music. There’s a free-styling way Hood and Cobb approach the track that’s nothing short of infectious.
