Lacy Cavalier is a force to be reckoned with in the country pop world. She has a YouTube channel with nearly 15 thousand subscribers and almost 1 million total views, and an EP out with another one on the way. "Put Me Down" is the lead single from that forthcoming second EP. Her debut EP, titled Louisianne, contained many powerful and fun songs, ones that were quickly favorites among fans. But this song is a new and different side of her. Fans will be sure to embrace this song as much as the older releases, if not even more.
This song is a perfect pop-country blend. It is masterful in a way that Taylor Swift's Fearless was a pop country masterpiece.The single incorporates a few more pop elements than other releases by Cavalier have, but the maturity displayed in the lyrics of this song deserves that pop element to elevate Cavalier;s music over the teen-country tracks that are so popular right now (Friend Zone by Danielle Bradbery and Dibs by Kelsea Ballerini being perfect examples of those type of songs). And she does do predominantly pop covers on YouTube, with her most popular cover being of Maroon 5's "Maps" with almost 500,000 views. So that influence on her music has always been there. But this song sounds a bit more soulful as well, as if Cavalier was listening to some Alicia Keys while recording it.
Many country songs these days have the baseline country instrumentals, like the acoustic guitar and the mandolin, but underneath have the pop beat and muted drums. That occurs on this song, making it a hit in the making. Cavalier's vocals are pitch perfect as always, and her voice and songwriting shines through on this song. As she displayed on her debut, and continued on this track, Cavailer has the potential to do great things. This song is the beginning of great success for her.
Overall rating: 4 and a half crowns
