Kenneth Mobley Brice Jr. is one of the more active singers of CountryMusic in TheNewTens.

After a false start with an unreleased album, Brice broke through in a big way with "Love Like Crazy", the title track to his first full studio disc. The song set a new chart record when it managed a 56-week run up the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs charts, and it became the first song to become that publication's top song of the year on ''Billboard'' Year-End despite not hitting #1.

Next came ''Hard 2 Love'', his most commercially successful album to date, containing the smash hits "A Woman Like You", "Hard to Love", and "I Drive Your Truck", along with "I Don't Dance" and "Drinking Class" from ''I Don't Dance''.

Brice's catalog of hits is not limited to ones he's sung, however. Coinciding with his musical breakthrough, he penned Music/GarthBrooks' "More than a Memory", the only song ever to debut at #1 on the ''Billboard'' country music charts when they were still tabulated entirely by airplay. He also wrote "Crazy Girl" by Eli Young Band, which was the top country hit of 2011.

!Albums
*''Love Like Crazy'' (2010)
*''Hard 2 Love'' (2012)
*''I Don't Dance'' (2014)
*''Lee Brice'' (2017)

!Tropes present in Brice's work:
* ChronologicalAlbumTitle: ''Hard 2 Love''
* ContinuityNod: A possible unintentional example; about a year after "Love Like Crazy", he penned Eli Young Band's "Crazy Girl" which contains the line "I love you like crazy, girl."
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: He strikes an anvil on "Drinking Class".
* GriefSong: "I Drive Your Truck" is about the emotions felt when driving in a truck owned by a relative who has died.
* ICantDance: Played with on "I Don't Dance":
-->I don't dance, but here I am\\
Spinning you 'round and 'round in circles\\
It ain't my style, but I don't care\\
I'd do anything with you anywhere\\
Guess you got me in the palm of your hand\\
'Cause I don't dance
* NobodyThinksItWillWork: The subject of "Love Like Crazy", which is about a relationship that no one thinks will work, but ends up working anyway.
* RearrangeTheSong: "That Don't Sound Like You" was given a heavier backbeat for the radio edit.
* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: In both 2010 and 2015, Brice had the biggest hit of the year according to ''Billboard'' Year-End: "Love Like Crazy" in 2010, and "Drinking Class" in 2015. Neither song made it to #1 on the actual country charts (in fact, "Love Like Crazy" was the first time that a non-#1 managed to be the top country song of the year), but both managed anyway due to severely long chart runs.
* ShapedLikeItself: "Parking Lot Party" contains the line "And after the party's the after-party".
* VocalEvolution: His voice became noticeably softer starting with ''I Don't Dance'', and is especially noticeable on "Boy".
