Cody Belew The Glam Rock Rebel with a Heart of Gold Is Finally Releasing His Most Anticipated Album “I Did It for Love”
Imagine a country boy from the heart of the South, his voice a blend of Freddie Mercury’s theatricality and Dolly Parton’s soulful charm. That’s Cody Belew, a Nashville-based artist who’s shaking up the music scene with his unapologetic glam rock sound.
Cody‘s journey into the music path wasn’t a straight shot. After trading furniture restoration for a shot at music fame in Nashville, he made a splash on “The Voice,” catching the attention of industry insiders. His debut EP, a mix of originals and covers, was an instant hit.
Cody is finally releasing his highly anticipated album, “I Did It for Love.” This project showcases his versatility, with a good mix of genres, from country to glam. Cody’s creativity is quite impressive.
The album’s standout track, “Love Song to the South,” is a powerful anthem rooted in Cody’s Southern identity, running parallel to his commitment to reconciling its troubling past. His vocals paired alongside the honest lyrics explore the region’s struggle to reconcile its proud heritage with its darker past. It’s a reminder that even in the most beautiful places, there are often hidden scars, but with time they might be able to heal.
“Horseshoes & Hand Grenades” is a fun and funky departure from the album’s more serious themes. With its magnetic beat and catchy melody, it’s a guaranteed playlist filler. Let’s not forget “The Finer Things,” a glam rock anthem that’s sure to get your blood pumping, but it’s “Desire” that truly showcases Cody’s vocal prowess. This stripped-down ballad allows his voice to shine, and the lyrics are both vulnerable and powerful. It’s a song that will be in your heart the moment you listen to it.
It’s clear that Cody Belew is an artist destined to walk alongside the great legends of music, as he continues to rise through the ranks of the scene, one thing is certain: his star is only going to get brighter. With his exceptional blend of talent, passion, and authenticity, he’s defying all expectations and tribulations.
