Chris Bandi performs at the Chevy Breakout Stage on Day 4 of the CMA Music Festival on June 9, 2019 in Nashville, Tenn.“Man Enough Now,” his debut single with the New York-based RECORDS and Nashville-based Wide Open, is a page out of his youthful romantic history, a belated realization that he let a good relationship go when he was too immature to realize he was immature.
“I feel like the first verse is almost like a laundry list of excuses, like, ‘This is why boys screw these things up,’ ” says Duke. “In the second verse, you kind of give yourself a little bit of space to be wrong. You almost justify yourself in a little tiny way.” The original chorus was frank about the challenge of maturity -- “Grow up, get my s--t together” went the opening line -- and that proved to be the biggest hurdle in getting it finished.
“Timewise it’s not really that long, but there’s a lot crammed into that time,” says Massey. “So then you end up with a long lyric.” They recorded a guitar/vocal work tape and set it aside. Bandi started playing it live, and around summer 2016, he decided he should just record a version and put it out on his own. Massey did the entire production, with Bandi providing one stipulation: He wanted the verses to employ a stark electric guitar, similar in tone to’s “Thinking Out Loud” . Massey’s Strat launches at the same time as Bandi’s voice, essentially scrapping the typical instrumental intro.
