Single Review: Andrew Pope "Stormchaser"

Being called “the future of country music” by Bobby Bare is a pretty heady title to live up to, yet Andrew Pope seems up to the challenge. His latest single is the heartbreak ballad, “Stormchaser.” The guitar and pedal steel that open the track draw you into this man’s sorrow of the woman he loves infidelity. Pope’s traditional vocals are perfectly paired with lyrics and melody that combine effectively to convey the hurt of being cheated on and yet somehow accepting, even seeking out, the pain that accompanies it. He seems ignited by the “lightning and thunder” that comes with this woman and is willing to chase this “storm” acknowledging that his “friends all call me crazy, well I just may be.”



"Bring on the thunder, I’m addicted to the sound
Hit me with a lightning strike
I’ll ride it all the way to the ground
I crave the hunger
When it comes to danger
I’m a ten-foot-tall bulletproof caped crusader
Blowing in like the wind hammer down trail blazer storm chaser"
