The title This Is the Heavy signals that this, Mitchell Tenpenny's second official solo album, is different than The Low Light Sessions, the slow-burning EP that preceded it earlier in 2022. While Tenpenny never gets as weighty as, say, Jason Aldean or Cole Swindell, the sound of This Is the Heavy is louder and thicker, the melodies and rhythms more insistent, the overall effect is bigger and broader than either The Low Light Sessions or his 2018 debut Telling All My Secrets. Soul-inflected country-pop remains his bread and butter, but any subtlety on the album is left to his delivery.
