The Painter - Cody Johnson - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Cody Johnson pays loving homage to his wife of 15 years, Brandi, in "The Painter," a sentimental ballad fortified and set off by his brawny country voice. The lead single for Cody Johnson's eighth studio album The Leather, "The Painter" finds the Texan star doling out a heavy dose of romance over a sweeping, cinematic backdrop of steel guitar and fiddle that rises with his crescendoing emotions. The song is built around the central conceit of painting, which becomes a metaphor for the vibrancy she has brought to his life. "With every wall I built, she saw a canvas / I thank God every day for how He made her / My life was black and white, but she's the painter," he sings in the chorus. Written by Benjy Davis, Kat Higgins and Ryan Larkins, "The Painter" gave fans a first taste of what to expect from Leather, the follow-up to his mammoth 2021 offering for Warner Music Nashville, Human: The Double Album.
