Sam Hunt marks a generational shift in country music, slipping hip-hop phrasing and modern R&B rhythms into country-pop, signaling a progression from the boisterous bro-country that had previously defined the 2010s. “Leave the Light On” introduced this blend in 2014 and it became a smash, the first of his many number one singles on the country chart.
