Blending a
love of classic country and Southern-fried soul -- a fusion inspired equally by
fellow modern mavericks Eric
Church and Chris
Stapleton -- Luke Combs slyly updates these traditional sounds with a hint
of modern R&B. This combination, which flourished on ballads, made Combs stand
apart from both slick country-pop crooners and bro country revelers, a
distinction that helped him become a hit right out of the gate. His first
single, 2016's "Hurricane," launched a series of five number one Billboard
Country Airplay hits in a row. "When It Rains It Pours," "One Number Away," "She
Got the Best of Me," and "Beautiful Crazy" -- all pulled from his 2017 debut
album This One's for You, the latter pair coming from an expanded reissue of the
record -- arrived over the course of the next two years, a period that saw Combs becoming
one of the biggest stars in Nashville, a status cemented by his win of the
Country Music Associations' Best New Artist award in 2018.
Luke Combs is from North Carolina, born in Charlotte and raised in Asheville,
where he moved when he was eight years old. As a teenager, he played football
and sang in vocal groups. While attending college at Appalachian State -- the
same school Eric
Church attended years earlier -- he decided to put his studies on the back
burner so he could concentrate on country music. Learning how to play guitar, Combs amassed
a catalog of original songs as he played shows on a regular basis. When he was
just shy of earning his degree, he dropped out of college. After gigging
regularly in North Carolina, he headed to Nashville in 2014 to pursue a musical
career.
In February 2014, Combs self-released The Way She Rides EP, which was followed
in July by Can I Get an Outlaw. The single "Hurricane" arrived in 2015 and
generated enough buzz to secure the singer a contract with River House/Columbia
Nashville. The label released the This One's for You EP in November 2015, then
reworked "Hurricane" to country radio in 2016, accompanying it with a new EP,
also titled This One's for You.
In November 2016, "Hurricane" entered the Country Airplay charts, reaching
number one in early 2017. Its success set the stage for Combs' full-length debut, This
One's for You, which debuted at number one on Billboard's Country Albums chart
upon its June release. "When It Rains It Pours," the singer's second number one
on Country Airplay, kept the album on the charts through the year, then This
One's for You gained additional momentum in 2018, thanks in part to "One Number
Away," his third number one single, but also due to the June re-release of an
expanded version of the debut. Called This One's for You Too, this revamped
edition of Combs' debut contained five new songs, including "She Got the Best of
Me," an anthemic single which followed its predecessors to number one Country
Airplay, helping the album reach a peak of four on Billboard's overall Top 200
Albums chart.
Combs continued to gain momentum during the back half of 2018 thanks to the
ballad "Beautiful Crazy." Originally an internet sensation, "Beautiful Crazy"
became a smash on radio late in 2018, reaching number one on the Country Airplay
chart in March 2019; its success was a factor in Combs receiving a Grammy
Nomination for Best New Artist in 2019. "Beautiful Crazy" spent seven straight
weeks at number one on Country Airplay, breaking the previous records for
longevity on the charts. The single also helped Combs earn the distinction of
being the first artist to simultaneously hold the top position on all five of
Billboard's main country charts: Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country
Airplay, Country Streaming Songs, and Country Digital Song Sales.
Combs teased out music from his second album with the May 2019 release of "Beer
Never Broke My Heart," a single that became his sixth number one Country Airplay
hit. "Beer Never Broke My Heart" anchored the June EP The Prequel, which offered
five songs from his second album What You See Is What You Get, which arrived in
November 2019.
