Zach Top has been on nothing short of an absolute roll lately.
After capturing the hearts and ears of many with the release of his debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, last year, the Washington native followed it up this year, bringing home New Male Artist at the ACM Awards back in April along with an Album of the Year nod. Arguably the hottest artist in the genre outside of the likes of Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan, it seems as if the Top has been, well… on top of the world lately.
After dropping his certified summer banger, “Good Times & Tan Lines,” back in June, the “Use Me” singer released arguably his best song to date with “South Of Sanity” earlier in the month. Instantly transporting you to a rainy night in the early 90s, Top grapples not only with losing his mind but also the prospect of losing his lover to the road in the heartbreaker.
“Still I’m somewhere outside Amarillo
They just called my name from the stage When we last talked she was talkin’ leavin’ But I gotta show I gotta play Somewhere south of sanity Still just north of insane”With his new album, Ain’t In It For My Health, releasing in just nine days, Top decided to keep the momentum going with the release of a brand new video for “South of Sanity” today.
In typical Top fashion, he keeps the video just about as simple as it gets. There’s no visualization of the song’s narrative. Instead, it depicts Top playing guitar atop a lonely plain with b-roll footage of scenes of him and his band out on the road on his current Cold Beer & Country Music Tour. With a song as good as “South Of Sanity,” there’s truly no reason to get elaborate with the music video. I think the music speaks for itself here.
It’s starting to become a bit of a moot point to hail Top as the next savior of country music. While I don’t know if I’d go that far (not yet at least), songs like this, as well as “Use Me” and the certified-platinum “I Never Lie,” point to the brightest future we’ve seen in recent memory. Either way, it looks like we’re in for an absolute treat next Friday upon Ain’t In It For My Health’s release.
In other news, Top extended his aforementioned Cold Beer & Country Music Tour, adding five brand new dates from October to December. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
