Parker McCollum’s new single, “What Kinda Man,” premiered on country radio on September 13, and the rollicking song sounded different than anything else the singer released before. “I’m a little nervous about this song,” McCollum admits. “I think it’s going to stick out on country radio like a sore thumb.” The country star wrote “What Kinda Man” along with the stellar songwriting team of Natalie Hemby and Jeremy Spillman. “I’ve only got two records left on my first-ever record deal, and I just didn’t want to go put out a record that sounded like the last two,” McCollum shares. The track was pretty well formed when Hemby and Spillman got involved, and they didn’t change much to bring the song to life. “Parker just gifted this to us like our Christmas presents,” Hemby says. “So very grateful to him. Maybe we changed a couple of lines, but that was about it on the first verse and chorus. He came in with a mapped-out idea.” (Billboard)
