Rhett is as "Beautiful As You"

Friday, May 10, 2024 – Thomas Rhett returns with a new single, "Beautiful As You."

This is the first taste of Rhett's upcoming seventh studio album set for release Aug. 23 via The Valory Music Co. Rhett will debut "Beautiful As You" on the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards next Thursday (5/16), streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime.

"This is an anthem for everybody who feels like they out-kicked their coverage," Rhett said. "There was one day a couple years back when I was looking at my wife, and I was like, 'Why in the world did you choose me?' I get to be with someone who could easily be on the cover of a magazine, and I get to see her in all her forms – a partner, a mother, a friend, even a philanthropist. I just feel like I've got a first row seat at almost-perfection, if you will. And like the song says, 'Seriously, what is somebody as amazing as you doing with somebody like me?'"

Co-written by Rhett, "Beautiful As You," the song was produced by Julian Bunetta.

"Lauren and I are just in a different phase of life than we have been for awhile," Rhett said. "Now it's a little easier to go on date nights, do stuff with friends, stay up a little bit later – I don't know, maybe even sleep in a little bit. So much of my music is a reflection of the stage of life we are in. We're in a very joyful season, and this song is just the tip of the iceberg to the rest of this next album."

CD review - Where We Started Thomas Rhett's "Where We Started" begins with a wonderfully positive relationship song titled "The Hill." Over a quiet, acoustic guitar arrangement, Rhett sings of how a successful marriage is the hill he wants to die on. In other words, if he's going to fight for anything, he's going to battle for his romantic partnership. Unsurprisingly, Lori McKenna had a part in writing it. When it comes to setting the right priorities in life, McKenna is one of our greatest ...
CD review - Country Again: Side A Thomas Rhett is in the artistic zone. 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. ...
CD review - Center Point Road 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. ...
