Chris Stapleton is no stranger to evoking emotion with his soulful, bluesy, catchy songs. Throughout his career, he’s collaborated with country legend George Strait and other country superstars, including Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, and Dierks Bentley. Stapleton keeps winning awards, having been nominated for twenty Grammys and winning ten so far in his lucrative career. Lately, his music videos have been blowing people away, with good reason.
Touching Hearts Worldwide
This year, Chris Stapleton and Dua Lipa won ACM’s top collaborative song 2024 for “I Think I’m In Love I With You.” On August 31, the song’s official video was released to YouTube, and it has had over 940K views. The video is indeed emotional, featuring an older man passing away with his loving and grieving family at his bedside. The funeral procession is shown with saddened loved ones, but the man’s spirit is spry and happy, reuniting with his love.
The consensus of the comments is positive and poignant, with many reflecting on their stories of grief and remarking on how this video helped them process the losses of loved ones. As the video continues, the elderly man and his soul mate dance joyfully together. At the end of the video, the funeral is over, mourners have left, and a gravedigger (Played by Stapleton himself) shovels dirt on the casket.
Chris Stapleton and Company
Stapleton’s collaboration with Dua Lipa is among the many hugely successful duets of his career. Justin Timberlake pairs with him in the video “Say Something” (2018), which has had 428 million views since its release on YouTube. On September 6 of this year, a video collaboration with country music giant George Strait was released and featured the song “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” with 31,866 views so far.
Stapleton has no problem crossing over any music genre. In the video and song, he collaborates posthumously with Tom Petty in “I Should Have Known It.” with 177,794 views since its release on April 26, 2024. The consensus of the comments was positive, and they were impressed by Stapleton’s range of talents. Tom Petty fans who miss the talents of the late singer may be pleased to hear Chris Stapleton’s duet giving it new life.
The Humble Beginnings of a Songwriting Superstar
Christopher Alvin Stapleton was born on April 15, 1978, in Lexington, Kentucky, to Carol Stapleton, a health professional, and Herbert Stapleton Jr., a coal miner. Athletic and intelligent, he played several sports in high school and was class valedictorian in 1996. The original plan was to study engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. However, Stapleton became enchanted by the local music scene and dropped out after a year.
Stapleton began working as a songwriter and played with several bands around the local Nashville scene. In 2013, he signed with Mercury Nashville. His single “What Are You Listening To?” was released that October, but it didn’t make it too far. He then met his wife Morgane and co-producer Dave Cobb. His album Traveller was then released in 2015 with worldwide acclaim. The rest is history, continuing to make hit after hit and winning awards.
Wrapping Up
Not everyone enjoys country music, but the beauty of Chris Stapleton’s creations is that they appeal to a wide range of listeners of almost all genres. It may surprise people that he has worked with Malcolm Young of AC/DC, Post Malone, Carlos Santana, Adele, P!NK, and even Snoop Dogg (yes, really!).
Stapleton, Cindy Blackman, and Snoop Dogg did a rendition of “In The Air Tonight” with a corresponding video promoting the NFL. Then again, country music’s roots are deep, complex, and embedded in American culture. It makes sense that a master songwriter like Stapleton can flawlessly meld it with other music genres.
