LUKE PRATER
"The Right One"
Independent Release
The Texas Music scene is full of great artists with songs that are full of depth and emotions that embody everything that makes country music great. Therefore, to really stand out and make an impact, an artist must be on top of their game when bringing a song to radio.
Since first bursting onto the scene in 2018, Luke Prater has been steadily building a very strong grassroots following while honing his craft and continuing to elevating his songwriting abilities.
Prater is now ready to take his music to the next level with the release of “The Right One,” his debut radio single which was co-written with uber-popular, Texas country artist Curtis Grimes.
With a gritty feel to his vocals, he tugs you into the heartbreaking mid-tempo as he weaves us through an emotional tale that sees him realizing now what he had, but it’s much too late because she’s already gone.
He uses the opening verse to lament on all the different aspects that define her: a wild one, a kind one, a fine one, etc. While he reveals in the second verse how hard she tried to hang on through the tough moments of their relationship, but more so how she eventually couldn’t and had to walk away – leaving him in the dust.
However, it’s the chorus that truly punches the heart of emotion when he turns his memories from the past to the present-day feelings that he’s experiencing in the aftermath of losing her as he sings of it feeling like getting hit with a dagger, how her leaving took him by complete surprise, and how confused he is by trying to dissect his hurt while pointing blame and questioning if she ever really was the right one.
Luke Prater has brought a tremendous effort to radio with “The Right One.” The catchy tempo pulls you into the song, his gritty voice encompasses all the right emotions of the lyrics as they wrap around you, and the listener is easily going to connect with this since it’s something that we’ve all experienced. I expect this one to rise the charts quickly and give Luke Prater his first Top 10 at Texas Radio.
