Well, this Tim McGraw/Faith Hill collaboration looked good on paper.
And it still might result in some favorable and lasting contributions to country music. Be a little patient with these guys. I have some confidence that good stuff will come. But “Speak To a Girl” feels a bit like a misfire, at least on the creative side.
“Speak To a Girl” is not a bad song, but it does a lot of the little things wrong. It starts off with Faith Hill singing, and she’s in a key that’s not particularly flattering for her range, especially since she’s trying to sing in these sort of hushed tones. It makes her part comes across as a bit throaty and jagged, especially for mainstream…
