Jerrod Niemann — “What Do You Want”
(from Judge Jerrod and the Hung Jury) —
It’s certainly not paint-by-numbers country: after writing tunes for the likes of Garth Brooks, Jamey Johnson, and Blake Shelton, Niemann suddenly finds himself holding a hot hand of his own at country radio with a simmering epic about a man laying his heart bare, pleading with a former flame to snap the vicious circle of rage, regret, and overpowering lust that has them both stuck hopelessly in neutral. From Nashville’s new class of upstarts,
one of the year’s most powerful singles.
