On “The Cure,” Olivia Rodrigo is infatuated, but also distracted. “All the pretty girls in the foreground of my mind,” she murmurs in the opening verse. As she strums an acoustic guitar, her thoughts unspool. Wasn’t love supposed to be the antidote to a head full of poison, a heart full of doubt?

Braxton Keith is well aware that he's carrying a torch for traditional country music. He just doesn't want fans thinking it's a passing fancy. “It's only gonna get bigger,” Keith says of the pivot to country's old-school roots that artists like Zach Top, Cody Johnson, and Keith have helped engineer. “It's the same thing that happened with the bro stuff, and with the Nineties country. It's here now,” he says. “Traditional is always going to be a lane in country music. But we've also got the rappers collaborating now. Country music can literally go anywhere. It blows my mind. I…
