Single Review: Scotty McCreery - "See You Tonight"

With "See You Tonight" 2011's "American Idol" champion returns to Country Radio and online stores with his first single from a his first 'made in nashville by Nashville' album (his debut Clear As Day was recorded all over the country). Read on here to see if we think it has enough to be not only a hit for Scotty

And while Scotty McCreery's Clear As Day album and singles sold remarkably well and helped him establish himself, the album was largely made without the input of his new Nashville label family and thus while clearly a Country Music album, it sounded dated and the songs didn't really take advantage of McCreery's youth. It was a missed opportunity of sorts but with his fan base strong enough to headline a string of weekend shows this spring, Scotty's ready to give those fans his first Nashville-sourced single, "See You Tonight." 

The single, which Scotty wrote with Ashley Gorley and Zach Crowell, is youthful without feeling overtly so. The production from Frank Rogers is modern without being in your face about it. It's fresh, it's current. Rogers has worked with some of the best neo-traditionalist artists in modern Country Music (Brad Paisley, Josh Turner) so working with Scotty is a natural fit. "See You Tonight" is about wanting to be in the moment -- and in the same room -- with the love of your life (or at least of the moment). It's a a basic love song but it's the kind of song that girls always love to hear their guys say to them. 

The melody is playful, youthful without sounding too youthful and Scotty delivers the lyrics and sounds ready to get the one thing he hasn't yet had in his career, a Top 10, Top 5 or chart-topping Radio airplay single. Everything about "See You Tonight" suggests that he'll not only get his Top 10 but that he'll follow it up with a string of successful hit singles.
