Love You A Little Bit

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 4
"Love You A Little Bit" by Tanner Adell

I'm really bummed that the only video I can find for the original version of this song is a fan-made video compilation of the artist's social media posts. She has a couple of good acoustic versions of this song on her own YouTube channel, but not even a lyric video or audio for the original.

I found this song during an extended country music phase this past year (which you'll see more of later in this activity), and it's probably one of the country songs I ended up listening to the most in 2023. It has the perfect blend of energy, catchy lyrics, and catchy beat; I found it really easy to just let it play on repeat while I was driving around town or trying to get some work done.

One of the cool things I noticed in listening to Tanner and doing a bit of research is that there's apparently a big push for "black girl" country artists now. Country artists are overwhelmingly white and male for the most part, and while women have made huge strides in the genre in recent years, they're almost exclusively white as well. There's a massive appetite for diversity in country music artists, and I hope it happens because one of the reasons that I'm not a huge country fan normally is because I find so much of it homogenous. Some new perspectives would be a great way to refresh the genre and attract new fans.
