Cosmic Hallelujah magnifies the euphoria and rush that defines Chesney as an artist, a writer and a live performer. Beyond the strong emphasis on rhythm and grooves, the four consecutive Academy of Country Music and four-time Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year worked to craft an album that marks the best part of being alive and the way to embrace the moment and appreciate the smallest things that often get lost in life as it hurtles by.

Beyond the hot white centre-of-the-moment duet with P!NK, ‘Setting The World On Fire,’ and the creative blast of ‘Noise,’ Cosmic Hallelujah includes ‘Some Town Somewhere,’ the album title source’s perco­lating philosophy, ‘Trip Around the Sun,’ the Tom Petty-esque coming-of-age, ‘All The Pretty Girls,’ the breezy romance of ‘Bar at The End of the World,’ the DIY get-out-of-towner, ‘Winnebago,’ the homage to small town dives, ‘Jesus and Elvis’ and the worry-jettisoning ‘Bucket,’ as well as the priority questioning, ‘Rich and Miserable,’ that’s Chesne­y’s most musically ambitious track yet.
