This song is a great reminder of why Carrie Underwood won American Idol nearly 20 years ago. Her voice is incredible, especially when she’s singing gospel and this love song duet with Cody Johnson is borderline spiritual. The pleasant blend of voices between these two is something we needed, isn’t it?
I have this thing about a songs, a few of which I’ve heard lately. Sometimes an artist releases a song and it’s presented as the best thing since round wheels but when I listen to it, I wonder: Where and when is anyone going to play this song? A great example of this is Midland’s “Vegas.” It’s a song. It has lyrics and music. But when is anyone playing this song in real life? Not at a party. Not at home alone. It’s not good for a road trip and to put it lightly, it generally serves no purpose whatsoever for the advancement of mankind. OK, that was heavy. Sorry Midland. Fortunately for Cody and Carrie, “I’m Gonna Love You” is not wasting anyone’s time. This spirited duet is one of the better love songs to come along in a long time.
Adding an equestrian theme with the new music video will upset nobody because if you’ve ever watched a horse run or gallop or if you’ve hugged a horse, you know there’s something divine about them.
The imagery in this video is beautiful, stunning, and I can’t get enough of those horses. The director, Dustin Haney, did a wonderful job putting it all together. After it was all said and done, here’s what he had to say about it via his Instagram (@DustinHaney):
This song fits on a few different playlists and will undoubtedly be played at weddings or anniversaries or an unnecessarily dramatic high school hoco invitation. Couple that with a great video and this is an all around hit.
What do you think about the song and the video? Comment below, let’s chat about it!
