Dierks Bentley: 'Sometimes I think that women are more evolved than men'

Country sensation Dierks Bentley has collaborated with 'Ex's and Oh's' songstress Elle King on a track named 'Different For Girls' and he opened up about how the duet came about in a new interview with Billboard. 

He explained that when he first heard the song he really liked what they lyrics were about: “Shane McAnally texted me and said he had this song, and before he sent it to anyone else, he wanted to send it to me because he felt it was something I could do well."

"I listened to it, and thought ‘This is such a crazy song.’ It talks about the idea how guys and girls process heartaches differently, but there’s also the judgment that one places upon a girl if she does go out and drink the heartache off -- society does judge them for that."

He also confessed that he feels as if women might be somewhat more advanced than men because they seem to be more emotionally open:

"I definitely think there is some bias there. It’s an interesting conversation worth having, and being the father of two girls, I don’t want them to grow up in a world where there are hidden biases. I’m surrounded by all these strong women -- my publicist, my manager, and my wife, and sometimes I think that women are more evolved than men, and they are able to process a heartache better."

Bentley, whose new album 'Black' came out yesterday (May 27), added: "I love the lyric, and I love Elle King. I love her voice, and she has these Nashville roots. She can play a little banjo, and I love how her voice fit mine. I think the voices blended so naturally. It wasn’t a forced collaboration, at all.”
