If you liked "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey, wait until you hear his new track, "Blink Twice." It proves definitively that he is no one hit wonder. He worked on it with British "folk prodigy" Myles Smith, per Holler. The outlet certainly seemed impressed with the musical effort. "Shaboozey and Myles Smith's genre-blending styles fuse together seamlessly on 'Blink Twice', with the duo exploring rousing, folk-leaning textures across the wistful new track." This time around, there appears to be a "folkier" inflection.

Smith has an affinity for the "folk-pop world," judging by his hits "Nice to Meet You" and "Stargazing." He teamed up with the queen of bell-bottom country herself, Lainey Wilson, for a country iteration of "Nice to Meet You." Makes you stop and consider if Smith wants to indulge a more countrified musical leaning these days.
Take A Listen To 'Blink Twice'
Shaboozey, 29, said on X that "This is one of the best songs I've ever made." Fans will probably think so as well. It sounds like he can't believe his own good fortune either. He posted, "From a 250 capacity venue to an NFL halftime show in one year is insane. What can't God do?" In fact, he and Beyonce are the sole Black vocalists to reach the pinnacle of both the Hot Country Songs chart and Hot 100. Great feat!
Funky with a country twang, 'Blink Twice" will make country fans sit up straight in their seats. Shaboozey strikes again! Catchy with a toe-tapping beat, this guy knows exactly what he is doing. I loved it right away on the first listen. He struck gold here.
More About Shaboozey
Per Biography via CMT, Shaboozey said, "I'm a regular guy. I grew up in a small town in Virginia, and I just didn't really do the school thing. I was just like, 'Man, I really enjoy this passion of mine, and I'm gonna keep pursuing until it gets me there.' I hope that's what people, along with all the excited eyes, they read the story and they know that that person's just like me."
