Rhett feeling it for "Sixteen"
Monday, September 17, 2018 – Thomas Rhett is releasing "Sixteen" as his new single.
Penned by Rhett, Sean Douglas and Joe Spargur, the song follows four RIAA PLATINUM-certified number one hits including "Craving You," "Marry Me," "Unforgettable" and "Life Changes" from his PLATINUM-certified album "Life Changes."
"When you're a kid, you can't wait to grow up and reach that next milestone," Rhett said. "But as you get older, you look back and think about how much fun you had at 16, 18 or 21. This song is a reminder to live in the moment and just soak up where you're at in life."
Rhett returned to the road last weekend on his Life Changes Tour with sold-out shows in Bangor, Maine and Uncasville, Ct.

Rhett Atkins' boy never really struggled to get noticed, but starting around 2015, his impact went nuclear – "Die A Happy Man" wasn't just a number one, but a monster that stayed there for two months. The ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year still carries a lot of weight, and Rhett nabbed it in 2019.
Still, Rhett's sound has its doubters – a lot of the air-quote country hits were grafted to other dance, pop and soul styles. ...
Thomas Rhett represents a dilemma for traditional country music fans. Namely, that he doesn't create much country music that appeals to traditional tastes. Although "Center Point Road" doesn't entirely reverse that trend, even during its most overtly pop moments, this new collection of songs is still a pretty good one.
The best song is also a love song - to a truck - titled "That Old Truck." It's the kind of song that only makes sense within country music circles. ...
Thomas Rhett references mangoritas, Coldplay and verified Instagram accounts on his third album, and for some, that may be a deal-breaker. His ultra-contemporary style and pop culture smarts may be anathema for fans of traditional country. However, writing Rhett off by stamping a cowboy boot and hollering "That ain't country!" writes off some truly standout songs - created by combining the best elements of country and pop music. Take the sophisticated songwriting of country and the ...
