Parker McCollum "Speed" Song Review

Parker McCollum is at it once again. The "Handle On You" singer is continuing to give fans a taste of his upcoming album with the release of "Speed."

McCollum has been on a path toward stardom for some time now. Since earning two No. 1 songs "Pretty Heart" and "To Be Loved By You," the Texas native has been credited for bringing the old-school sound to contemporary ears. He has often hailed George Strait and Brooks & Dunn as major musical influences for him, and it's evident in his music. McCollum is gearing up for the release of his sophomore album Never Enough, which will be available on May 12th.

"Speed" is meant to reflect on the pace of one's life. McCollum sings about how it's easy to prioritize going fast instead of enjoying life as it comes. There also lies the question, isn't the point of life to go big or go home? McCollum intends to find the answer. "Hammer down, never stickin' around, head harder than a tree, foot on the gas, never lookin' back, and always ready to leave."

The tempo of the song sounds consistent with much of the singer's other songs. His voice is able to soar over the stories he tells in only a way that McCollum can. He also finds a way to breathe new life into popular country themes. Whether McCollum sings about love, lost love, or life itself, he always approaches the music with true authenticity
