Craig Campbell returns to country radio on June 8 with the release of his brand new single “Tomorrow Tonight.” The singer/songwriter signed with RED BOW Records in December 2014, and is currently working on his third studio album. Penned by Campbell, Justin Wilson and Vicky McGehee, “Tomorrow Tonight” serves as the debut single from his forthcoming album.
While Craig Campbell delivers a bit of an edgier side with this new track, he still stays true to his roots, true to country radio and true to his fans with the release of “Tomorrow Tonight.” Campbell finds the balance and blends his traditional country sound into a country song that is modern & relevant. It’s not an easy feat to capture, but Campbell proves that it can in fact be done. “Tomorrow Tonight” tells the tale of two people falling in love and living in the moment of the night, which leads to impacting their tomorrow as they continually reflect on the night before. The new single is fresh and fun, and makes for a great fit on country radio.

The problem at hand with country music is that the subject matter is always so obvious. Similar to club music, country singers like using buzzwords such as “tonight” to evoke the listeners primal desire to embrace their sexual needs. While this article calls it a sweet love story between two people in the moment, the context does not support this claim. There is no evidence of a long term relationship between two people. The first image we see in the song is the woman’s clothes being on the floor. Rather than focusing on a unique part of their love such as a poem or sunset in a certain moment in their relationship, it’s about the carnal need to have sex, eg on a dance floor. I personally find this disrespectful because the personality is not discussed rather the fact that she just had sex with the singer, which sounds like a one night stand. The fact that the woman will be smiling about the day after is an assumption and implies that Craig Campbell has a high pop Union of his sexual ability and of course satisfies her. The singer demands the activity to take place “tonight;” it’s less of a proposition and more of a demand. The rhymes are low hanging fruit and the singer’s ability to sing is nothing special. Instrumentally it has nothing to offer. Songs like this are what’s fundamentally wrong with country music today, especially the sexist image on women as objects.
