Hear Chris Stapleton evoke the chilly atmosphere of late-Nineties Radiohead with “Cold'
. The follow-up to Stapleton’s two-partFramed by an angular minor-key piano part played by the Heartbreakers’ Benmont Tench, “Cold” initially feels closer to “Karma Police” than Stapleton’s signature brand of earthy soul-country. Of course, when Stapleton opens his mouth, it’s more rooted to his past work than Thom Yorke’s, particularly with lyrics that address a distant, heartless ex-lover. Stapleton penned the song with his core band members J.T. Cure and Derek Mixon, and producer Dave Cobb.
“Why you got to be so cold/Why you got to go and cut me with a knife, put our love on ice?” he sings, bringing out the famous ache in his voice. By the second verse, the song’s otherworldly vibe has returned in the form of a cinematic string arrangement envisioned by Stapleton, Cobb, and viola player Kristin Wilkinson that ratchets up the tension with unsettling, dizzying slides between notes.
