ROUGH ONLINE is loving Country Pop singer Morgan Evan’s new single “Day Drunk,” that delivers a similar concept to Avril Lavigne’s 2013 single “Here’s To Never Growing Up.” Musically reminiscent of Kid Rock’s upbeat Rock sound, with its’ hip-hop style drum programming in the first verse, and a slick guitar riff that could have easily been written by the talented Ed Sheeran, Evan’s fun-loving song of getting drunk on life, as well as quite literally getting drunk on shit loads of booze in the sun will have you head banging up and down to the beat in no time. The overall production leading up to the chorus could easily throw you back to Ashlee Simpson’s 2004 hit single “Pieces Of Me,” because of its’ clean acoustic guitar sound and John Shanks’ notable Pop-Rock sound which the producer of “Day Drunk” has captured masterfully. A crowd of men shouting “oh yeah” at the top of their lungs in response to Morgan’s catchy hook puts the biggest smile on your face, while you embrace his traditional country vocal, superb harmonies and prepare yourself for the biggest summer party yet as them distorted guitars and heavy live drums energise the chorus section exactly how we expected it to, with its’ spot-on use of major chords. The singer’s adlibs, in the short instrumental section after the second chorus, wreak of perfection, containing stunning use of reverb leading into its finale.

The official music video keeps things very simple and homemade, capturing many joyful moments on camera of Evans swimming, going down water slides, taking selfies, and having a liquid lunch, all with his female partner-in-crime. The feel-good “Day Drunk” video also showcases beautiful views of the landscape in Hawai, which overall kind of makes you wish you were there with them to enjoy the ride. With the additional shots of beach sights and car drives, it is a visually fun experience to watch. “Day Drunk” is definitely one of the best summer tracks ROUGH ONLINE has heard so far this year and recommend that you check it out while we’re still enjoying the UK heatwave.
