"Baby Be My Love Song" is a song written by Jim Collins and Brett James [1] and recorded by American country music artist Easton Corbin. It was released in September 2014 as the second single from Corbin's album About to Get Real . [2]
When asked about the song, Corbin said "I'm really fired up about this song, to see what it's going to do." He also stated "I think it's a very fresh sound, but it's still country, right down the middle." [3]
Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal gave the song four stars out of five, calling it "an uplifting and infectious country single." Papadatos wrote that Corbin's vocals are "pleasant, refreshing and reminiscent of such country superstars as George Strait and Alan Jackson" and added that Corbin "deserves a great deal of praise for staying humble to his musical roots." [4] The song also received a favorable review from Taste of Country , which declared it "the sort of timeless tune Corbin began his career with." It went on to say "the production of the Florida-born singer's most recent cuts isn't as traditional as 'A Little More Country Than That,' but he'll still draw more comparisons to men like George Strait than he will modern Romeos like Luke Bryan, even if he does drop a Dixie cup reference." [5]
Other reviews were less favorable. Jim Casey of Country Weekly gave the song a "C" and said that it "is as uninspiring as its title suggests. The song is brimming with cringe-worthy lyrics." He also criticized the production and said "sure, there's some steel, but there's also over-the-top electric guitar filler where there should be more steel." [6]
"Baby Be My Love Song" debuted at number 53 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart for the week of September 27, 2014. [7] It became Corbin's highest debut to date.
