One of the biggest complaints about mainstream country music and country radio is that it lacks emotion. There are too many of the same generic songs about Friday nights and parties and situations that aren't representative of real life. And when the songs do have emotion, they often come out sounding forced or phony. It's not real emotion, the kind of music that country music was built off of. But when The Voice alum Cole Vosbury and up and coming country singer/songwriter Amanda June teamed up to sing their song "Let's Get Lost," the heart and truth that should be in country music appeared again.
"Let's Get Lost" was written by Cole, Amanda and Adam Searan, and the emotion that went into the writing is conveyed again in the vocal performance of the two of them. The session was captured by Amplify Entertainment Group, and they emphasized the perfection of this session perfectly in their post about the performance: "The way Amanda and Cole play together is seamless, each artist's voice complementing the other's wonderfully, with no solo or break feeling forced or unnatural — a feat that few artist collaborations can boast." These two were made to sing together. The sweetness but slight edge of Amanda's voice along with Cole's slightly gravely voice fit together beautifully, and their harmonies are pleasing to the ear.
The fact that the session is an acoustic session adds even more of a raw and organic feel to the recording. It's simplistic, but I know I would buy the song if it were just released like this, with nothing else added. Acoustic is often underrated, but there's honestly nothing more beautiful than a flawless acoustic performance.
This performance marks both Amanda and Cole as artists to watch. Whether they continue separately, or together as a duo, they each have a bright future of bringing heart back into country music.
