This single demonstrates a musical departure and great improvement in Abbi Scott's musical style. It has the same uptempo drum-led beat as "Got My Own Shotgun", but this track is about a more universal subject, and is better produced, and overall better put together. From the acoustic guitar at the beginning and Scott's excellent vocals throughout the song, "Flying" truly is an exceptional track, and one that will begin Scott's journey to stardom. Although her previous songs were good, this song is leagues ahead of them.
Like THE ICEMAN said when debuting this track, this is a toe-tapping song. Driven by banjo, drums an acoustic guitar, this is a typical "Abbi Scott" song, but does have a more polished and professional feel than any of her other singles. Penned by Green River Ordinance, this track will connect with listeners more than any of Scott's other singles did. The track discusses the time when you are with a person that makes you feel really good about yourself, and you feel like you are flying. It is a simple, but beautiful concept.
The guitar solo leading into the bridge, and the bridge in general is the highlight of the song. The guitar adds a more radio friendly element to Scott's usually somewhat off-the-map music, which is a beneficial thing, because it makes her music more appealing to more people. After the solo, Scott comes back in, stretching her voice to the top of her range, adding a more raw and real touch to the polished track.
After hearing this song, and seeing how much Scott has come in just a few short months, I am positive that she will achieve great things. This song is a masterpiece and is a song every country music fan should listen to.
Overall rating: 4 ½ crowns
