"Setting The World On Fire" by Kenny Chesney feat. P!nk




I'm not all that familiar with Kenny Chesney's music. The only other song of his I really know well is "All the Pretty Girls" (also off the same Cosmic Hallelujah album), which I liked, so I was excited to see that he teamed up with P!nk for another song on the same album. I've always liked P!nk's country-inspired tracks, and I wasn't disappointed by either one of them here.

There are pretty much two kinds of country songs I like; the upbeat party songs, and the more pensive, sad songs. This is more of the latter, and it has the added benefit of being about spending time in Los Angeles, so I can appreciate all the geographic references that are mentioned in the song.

One of the things that I found most remarkable during my research for this song was that Cosmic Hallelujah is somehow Kenny Chesney's seventeenth studio album, and that he's been releasing albums steadily since 1994. I fully admit that I'm not a huge country fan so there are plenty of popular performers that I'm probably not aware of, but it's weird to just now be discovering the songs of someone who has literally had hundreds of songs released over a career spanning 25+ years. It's a bit surreal, but also what I love about music (and the Soundtrackers) in general... there's always an opportunity to find something new, even if it's old.
