Exactly I heard his song blue ain't your color, and he sings in a southern American accent. Then I find out hes from New Zealand 2 days later and I'm like what??? That's why In here to hear is natural accent and sure enough he has an Australian accent lol wtf???
tAmEz ZoDiAc crikey he moved to oz when really young so yes he has an Aussie accent and moved to the US years ago bc he always wanted to do country vocals . Ur welcome
Speaking and singing accents are often not related to each other. Elton John, George Michael, Paul McCartney…they all sing so differently than they speak. It’s very common.
