2 albums into his career, Lee Brice has accomplished a fair bit. 5 top 10 singles, 3 of those being #1's, along with the longest chart run in country music history ("Love Like Crazy") and a bunch of CMA, ACM, and Grammy nominees. To make all that even more impressive, is it was done under Curb Records, and hasn't resorted to selling out to the bro crowd.
He maintains his status as a quality artist recording quality material with lead single "I Don't Dance", and looks likely to continue his red hot radio stretch.
Yes, it's a ballad. Radio hates ballads. Radio has become so anti-ballad that even if you're a star like Keith Urban, you still can't get one up the charts with ease. If you're a female artist, just forget about it. But Lee Brice has somehow managed to get a few of them to the top, and "I Don't Dance" shows no signs of breaking this stretch.
It's a heartfelt love ballad about a man who, despite having no dancing ability whatsoever, is still spinning her around in circles. Paired up with a restrained production, a nice melody, and a sincere performance, and you have another excellent single from one of the most consistent male artists on radio today.
