The 2019 trend: “crossovers with country.” In the band scene, this kind of tendency has cropped up every few years.

Country has become established as a traditional, basic pop-rock genre.

But tracks that blend in hip-hop and R&B feel very fresh.

Country heavyweight Billy Ray Cyrus is portrayed in the music video almost like cosplay.

The film-style MV is packed with spectacle.

The punchy jokes you hear are cool, too.

Speaking of the Jonas Brothers, they reunited and resumed activities in February 2019.

They’re a popular band that frequently appeared in fashion magazines and gossip columns.

Since 2019, their songs have been drawing attention with exceptionally catchy sounds that put them at the forefront of the charts—classic pop in the vein of Taylor Swift and Panic! At The Disco.

Above all, the way the three of them carry themselves is just so cool.

SixteenThomas Rhett

“Sixteen” is a track from American country-pop singer Thomas Rhett’s third album, Life Changes, released in September 2017.

In the song, the 25-year-old narrator laughs with his wife as he reminisces about how he used to think of nothing but turning sixteen—saying he’d do anything to be sixteen because it seemed cool and free.

It’s a song that naturally brings back memories of one’s own past and stirs a nostalgic feeling.
