Dan and Shay is an American country duo composed of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney.
The duo is signed to Warner Bros. Records Nashville. They released their debut album, Where It All Began, April 1, 2014, and will also be releasing their debut single, “19 You + Me.” This is what I had to say about their new album:
“Show You Off:” It was a great way to start off their album. This song has a lot of potential and really gives you a positive vibe.
“Stop Drop + Roll:” There is a strong sense of energy while listening to this song. It has a soothing kind of melody to the way the music is being played.
“19 You + Me:” This song sets back a little and has a slower tempo. The lyrics are incredible and the meaning’s filled with affection.
“What You Do To Me:” As I listened to this, I had to listen carefully at certain parts. They were very touching.
“Can’t Say No:” This song has a slower pace and you’re able to let the music flow to the beat of the song. I feel as if this song fits well as a slow tempo with the words or the lyrics.
“First Time Feeling:” We all know that first time feeling you get with the one who you can do everything with and feel magical inside. The lyrics to this song are incredible and touch your heart.
“Nothin’ Like You:” When you see that other person and you feel that they are perfect and no one can be better. That person who just takes your breath away and you don’t know what to say.
“Somewhere Only We Know:” At one point in the song, the tempo gets fast and then suddenly drops and gets slower. I thought it was a great change within the song.
“Parking Brake:” As I started this song, I felt the rhythm of the song making me want to move to the melody.
“I Heard Goodbye:” This is one of their slower songs, and it gets very intimate as they say goodbye to someone special to them. You can feel the sadness by the way Dan and Shay sing the lyrics.
“Party Girl:” Another slow and steady song, saying how there is that girl they see who is someone who likes to have fun. She is the only one you think about.
“Close Your Eyes:” The song portrays how you just want to imagine how life would be with that special someone, when it’s just you and them. There is nothing to worry about in life; just the two of you.
You don’t want to miss these guys in action, so if you have the chance to catch them at a show, I suggest you go.
