SINGLE REVIEW: DUNCAN BROTHERS BAND - INTENTIONS

The Duncan Brothers Band’s latest single, Intentions, is a captivating blend of heartfelt storytelling, Southern rock flair, and polished production. Produced by Brian Collins and Will Turpin of Collective Soul, and recorded at the Historic Real to Reel Studios in Jonesboro, GA, the track captures both emotional nuance and musical precision.

At its core, Intentions is a story about attraction, frustration, and the complexities of human behavior. Matt Duncan’s lyrics explore the magnetic pull of someone unattainable, a woman who “rides into town and… sits right down just like you own the place, with no intentions of settling down.”

The song captures the tension of desire and the pain of unreciprocated interest, while also highlighting the universal need for humility and openness in relationships. Lines like “Oh I don't think you know what you're doing to me / But I don't know if you'd care” convey a raw honesty that many listeners will relate to, balancing longing with frustration in a way that feels deeply personal yet widely accessible.

Musically, the track fuses country storytelling with Southern rock energy, further enhanced by a guest appearance from Jesse Triplett of Collective Soul, whose final guitar lead adds a memorable flourish without overshadowing the song’s emotional core. The production ensures that every vocal nuance and instrumental layer is clear and resonant, giving Intentions a warmth and polish that complements its lyrical depth.

Fresh off a live in-studio acoustic performance, soon to be available on vinyl and streaming platforms, the band is also resuming work on their debut album with Collins and Turpin. With Intentions, the Duncan Brothers Band delivers a song that is as relatable as it is musically engaging, solidifying their growing presence on the country music scene.
