Usually, on this section of the blog, there are songs that are a bit older than this one, but this song just hit the 5 year mark, so it belongs here. Whitney Duncan is behind the irresistible Danielle Bradbery single, "Young in America," which she wrote a few years before Bradbery ever recorded it. Duncan was also a Nashville Star contestant like fellow country singers Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert. "Skinny Dippin'," the third single off of her first major-label record, showed a new side of Duncan's music, after the previous singles "When I Said I Would" and "The Bed You Made." This new side showed that Duncan was and is a very versatile artist, and can do practically anything.
The bluesy element to the song kicks the heat level up several notches. The song's lyrics are already sultry and suggestive, but the back up singers and laid back production add to the flirty vibe. For a lazy summer day song, this one is a gem. It has the provocative element, without being over-seuxualized. Duncan achieves this fine balance by describing the place they were skinny dipping and their relationship, instead of focusing on what they were actually doing. The lyric "bare white tushes" also makes it a bit more classy with the word 'tush' usually used when describing baby's bottoms.
So Duncan makes this song sexy without being overly so, and creates a slow beat that every couple will love to dance too. She keeps it classy, but is still risque. Duncan achieves the perfect balance that even seasoned musicians have a hard time getting, displaying her undeniable talent.
Overall rating: 4 crowns
