Shy Carter: From Writing for Sugarland to 'Good Love'
While Carter is taking his shot in country music, his songwriting spans genres. He’s written tracks for Rob Thomas, Meghan Trainor, and Jason DeRulo, and scored his biggest hit with Charlie Puth on Puth’s 2015 chart-topper “One Call Away.” Like many country music crossovers, it’s the genre’s history of storytelling that drew him to Music Row.
“I like the culture: the family element of it, the organic music. Using all these guitars and guitar solos and steel guitars and banjos,” he says. “I found the common thread when I heard Zac Brown Band singing, ‘Whatever it is, it blows me away…’ It’s just a love song, and coming from R&B music, I like to be able to write a love song, to write something that is still wholesome. I like that about country music.
“When he did that song with Tim McGraw, he was the first one to do this stuff. People gave him flack for it in his community, ‘Why you doing country music?’ But he was so far ahead,” Carter says. Looking back at “Stuck Like Glue,” so was Carter. He laughs when recalling a unique problem that the song’s success presented for the band. According to Carter, Sugarland were concerned about using programmed drum loop and beats during a country concert, which are often showcases for live instrumental prowess.‘t have backing tracks or some kind of beats,” he says. “Almost every writing room I go into, whoever is making the tracks, that’s how it starts: 808s and trap hi-hats.
