Having won season 10 of singing competition “American Idol” only a year ago, Scotty McCreery has gotten a fast and successful start in the music industry with his debut album “Clear As Day,” which sold one million records worldwide in less than three months of its release, certified for platinum, and landed him the No. 1 on Billboard magazine’s list of Top New Country Artists of 2011.

The debut of “Clear As Day” made Scotty McCreery the youngest man in history to open at the top of the all-genre Billboard chart.  His first single titled “I Love You This Much” went gold within a matter of a few weeks, and after working on another single for some time with Interscope Records, his second single, “The Trouble With Girls,” went gold in just two weeks.

“The Trouble With Girls” has that classic sense of American country that is loved by many. With only an acoustic guitar playing and perhaps a few sampled tracks to make the song fuller, McCreery’s voice is definitely the main focus of the song. His voice is very misleading, though. Being only 18, it is safe to say that he looks his age, if not younger, yet he has a strikingly deep voice. In his music video for the single, it looks as if he is lip-syncing the words to a much older artist when in fact it is his own voice. 

McCreery has said in an interview with Rolling Stone that he is “delighted with the reception his songs received in such a quick amount of time and delighted with how much people enjoy his live performances.” He has toured with The Band Perry, which also only helped his name to become even more known that it already is. McCreery says that he is currently enjoying the life of being on tour and meeting new fans and artists all of the time and hopes to continue to do so until it is time for him to get back in the studio. It is likely that McCreery will continue to wow the world with his country-pop blend that continues to sell on iTunes and in stores.
