Cementing his spot in Country Music, Justin Mattock presents his strongest Country sound yet. Mattock walked a fine line between Country and Pop Punk in previous arrangements. Now, Mattock delivers a powerful Nashville-esque ballad with all the emotion, instruments, and storytelling a fan could want from the genre.
For fans of Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, Russell Dickerson, and Tim McGraw, "Where I Come To Drink" is a bitter-sweet, uplifting piece that guides the audience through a story reminiscent of loss and what could have been. The crisp modern production entails everything you’d want in a country song, featuring a petal steel guitar and banjo pulling the track together. Layered and harmonized vocals carry the first verse straight through until a vast and open chorus; Mattock delivers a very strong vocal performance.
"Where I Come To Drink" is a story as old as time, bringing the listener to their special place. The opening line, "We had stories in this bottle, never time to take a sip," sets the tone perfectly for the song's nostalgic, sad, but somehow hopeful feeling. Mattock's imagery and storytelling in the lyrics are his strongest yet, painting a picture supported by the dense and complimentary range of instruments.
Starting tame, the song is a soft acoustic piece but steadily rises into a powerful and memorable chorus. Picture standing on top of a mountain staring out onto a lake and being showered in golden hour sun; that is what this song is. "Where I Come To Drink" follows up on his previous two singles, "First Time" and "Seventeen," both of which saw great radio success across Canada, the US, and UK markets.
