And w ith the tragedy of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis splashed on screens all across the world, she’s using that voice to speak up. Sharing a powerful preview of a new track titled “Black Like Me” on social media Thursday (May 28), Guyton tackles a bold and rarely-addressed topic in country: systemic racism itself. With her soaring voice weary but not broken, she sings of the different experiences Americans encounter depending on their skin color, pleading for understanding as a mellow beat unfolds behind her. The Texas native did not write the song in response to Floyd’s death under a police officer’s knee, but her protest is a universal one, and she tagged the post #justiceforgeorgefloyd. “It’s a hard life, here on easy street / Just white picket fences, as far as the eye can see / If you think we live, in the land of the free / You should try to be, black like me,” she sings in the chorus, refusing to sugarcoat her truth. According to a feature story in The Los Angeles Times in April, Guyton plans to include the track on her upcoming debut album — which will likely feature even more insight into the inequality she’s seen. Elsewhere in “Black Like Me” she shares some of her own family’s struggle, writing “Daddy worked day and night, for an old house and a used car / Just to live that good life, it shouldn’t be twice as hard.” And the rising talent also wowed Nashville’s Country Radio Seminar with her challenging “What Are You Gonna Tell Her” in February.

有没有人觉得这歌的副歌简直就是照搬see you again的编排…

格莱美上看到的表演,唱的真好,就是这个副歌...是直抒胸臆还是在呼吁些什么,个人经历和感受没有对错,但是在音乐里的呈现形式却有好坏。
