Sounds like Luke Combs knows the right formula for success in the music business. He does not want to be doing the same thing over and over, even if it sells like crazy. Combs also does not intend to become predictable. Or narrowly limited in the kinds of songs he records and performs. Smart dude!

He has already been honored by the ACM, Billboard, the CMA, iHeart Radio, and CMT. So Combs understands what staying power is and how to achieve it. Combs, 35, talked about all this frankly when he was a guest on Talking in Circles with country star Clint Black. The "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" singer likes to spread his musical net wide.
Combs Wants To Stay in His Lane While He Evolves
Combs shared this with Black and the audience. "I think if anyone puts pressure on me to do anything, it's myself, you know? 'Cause it's like I want to, I want to continue to evolve as an artist, you know, and I want to say... I'm not saying I'm going to make a David Bowie album, you know, that's just not in the cards for me. I'm not going to make a pop album. It's not going to happen, you know. But I don't want my third or fourth or fifth album to come out and go, 'Man, I just heard that time and time again.'"
He Does Not Want To Be Known as "the Love Song Guy"
Three of Combs' successful tracks "encapsulate" special times in his life - "Better Together," "Beautiful Crazy," and "Forever After All." Yet he will not allow those songs to define him as an artist.
Combs said, "And so it was like each one of those hits, this moment in time. And they're just so, to me, perfect for what they were meant to be. It's like, but I also, like, you don't want to be the love song guy. You don't want to be the this guy."
To his millions of fans, Luke Combs is the fantastic singer and performer guy. And he will be for many years to come.
