Dan + Shay’s ‘Good Thing’ Benefits From Truth in Advertising: Album Review
A.D. Amorosi Hit Nashville songwriters-turned-satin-smooth and pillowy-soft county pop practitioners Daniel Smyers and Shay Mooney have never ever made things rough for themselves since becoming Dan + Shay with 2014’s “Where It All Began.” With that debut album, and its follow-up, 2016’s “Obsessed,” Dan + Shay showed their country cousins how to condense the bittersweet breeziness of Rascal Flatts-meets-Air Supply sop into merry, milky froth, without an ache or a sweat bead in the bunch.The duo’s freshly released “Good Things” album – with its title track leading the way at the top of its track list — isn’t exactly a way-radical remake of the D+S formula.
