The release of BACK TO US marks both a return to form, and a proclamation of everything that Rascal Flatts has come to represent over nearly two decades. And that’s expert musicianship, razor-sharp vocals and songs that have shaped lives, loves and the genre of country music itself. The group have always been meticulous when it comes to finding the best and the brightest in the Nashville community, always for the sake of the songs themselves. BACK TO US is no exception, featuring contributions from Dan + Shay’s Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney (“Hopin’ You Were Lookin'” and “Love What You’re Done With the Place”), Chris Stapleton and Luke Laird (the syncopated, bluesy groove of “Vandalized”), busbee (the sensual “Hands Talk,” as both co-writer and producer) and Lauren Alaina, who added her powerhouse vocals to “Are You Happy Now.” Early critics look to agree, with many praising the refreshing and welcome release.
