Lose My Mind
Brett Eldredge
“Lose My Mind” was written by Ross Copperman, Brett Eldredge, Heather Morgan, Brian Burton, Thomas Callaway, Gian Franco Reverberi and Gian Piero Reverberi. It appears on the 2015 Brett Eldredge album, Illinois.
This is a good example of the new country:
- Catchy lyrics with a liberal dollop of sexual innuendo
- Lyrics carefully crafted by a focus group of writers
- A staccato urban beat, and
- A smooth baritone, packaged for maximum sex appeal
- A video aimed squarely at men (they are just so visual)
Still, it’s fun summer music. The lyrics will appeal to the ladies and the video will get most guys thinking about dress-up sex.
Unleashing his inner Ray Charles was the goal behind releasing “Lose My Mind” as the LP’s first single.
Eldredge said he wanted to show his more soulful side on this album and decided the carefree, R&B-tinged tune was its best introduction. “I wanted to branch out and do something totally different than what I’ve been doing,” says the longtime fan of Charles. “It has a different vibe and a soulful kind of groove.”
