This is the Rodney Atkins' we know and love. After three consecutive mediocre singles, Atkins brings us arguably his best single to date.
"Doin' It Right" is the style that brought us "If You're Going Through Hell", "Watching You", "Cleaning This Gun", etc., and established Atkins as a radio staple. Lyrically, this is bursting with positive energy. Not in a "party, beer, chicks, trucks" happy, fun way but in a "life is awesome" way, a refreshing change of pace.
Vocally Atkins holds his own. He's never gonna be a powerhouse vocalist, but he can convey emotion into a song. Production wise, it's also solid, as it allows the listener to enjoy the lyric and the accessible melody.
It has potential to be a smash, I sure hope it is.
Grade: A
