Content
Moore told Rolling Stone that "Naming the album Kinda Don’t Care is not meant to be nonchalant or careless. It's meant to be a challenge to folks to live life a little more freely and be true to themselves."[1] The album consists of 12 tracks, with five more on a deluxe version. Among the songs are the lead single "You Look Like I Need a Drink", and a duet with Brantley Gilbert on "More Middle Fingers".[1] The track "Hell on a Highway" was originally on hold for Luke Bryan, but Moore contacted Bryan, who gave him permission to record it instead.[2]
Reception
Crirical
Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that it "slyly threads in pieces of the R&B-inflected country that dominated the airwaves" and that the album's style "doesn't sound like pandering: it feels like an outgrowth of his ballad side".[3]
Commercial
The album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 based on 42,000 units, 37,000 of which are pure album sales.[4] It also topped the Country Albums chart, which is Moore's third consecutive No. 1 on the chart.[5] It has sold 121,800 copies in the US as of June 2017.[6]
