If you are influential, and maybe I am to some degree, I start feeling really responsible. Originally I felt free just to kind of go and do. I just did what I felt like was right and hopefully, it&#8217;ll work. I didn&#8217;t think about the fact that it might be influential or it might change the direction of where things are going or be a part of that change. That&#8217;s a big responsibility I feel like, so that probably was another big part of me taking a step back and saying, &#8216;Hang on a second, this is important stuff. This matters, like, what you&#8217;re saying and how you&#8217;re saying it,&#8217; and so I do feel the weight of that for sure.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, Sam is back now with a new single called &#8220;Kinfolks.&#8221; He&#8217;s expected to release another song before the holidays, and he plans to make touring a focus in 2020.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3sEn48HcxA\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sam Hunt said he now feels the weight of his responsibility as a country artist, which contributed to his desire to step out of the limelight for a while.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":10647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[1351,105],"class_list":["post-10641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-kinfolks","tag-sam-hunt"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 06:27:29","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2019\/10\/sam-hunt-talks-about-break-from-music\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10641"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10641\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10642,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10641\/revisions\/10642"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
