Musical style and influences

[edit]

Dan + Shay's musical style has been described as country,[76][77][78][79] country pop,[25][80][81][82] and pop.[83][84] They also utilize elements of pop,[85] country rock,[85] soft rock,[86] and R&B.[86] In describing their sound, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated, "specializing in country-pop so smooth it would also sound at home on adult contemporary radio" and "their inherent sweetness served as a counterpoint to the swaggering bro-country that dominated mainstream country during the mid-2010s."[80] Taste of Country compared them to Rascal Flatts and Love and Theft.[2]

The duo has cited many musical influences. Dan Smyers cited artists such as Ryan Adams, Tom Petty, Kenny Chesney and Alison Krauss as musical influences.[14] Shay Mooney cited artists such as Rascal Flatts, Dave Matthews Band, Usher and Kenny Chesney as musical influences.[14] Billboard noted musical influences from The Beach Boys, Electric Light Orchestra, Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn on the duo's fourth album, Good Things.[87] According to Dan Smyers in an interview:

"We write country songs — the topline, the lyrics of these songs...We grew up listening to all kinds of music, not just country but pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, everything… and you hear that in the music."[87]
