Singer/songwriter Camille Rae, from Mount Vernon, KY, has made a splash with her debut album. Titled I Need Me, the album was released in early October and is full of twelve songs that Rae wrote. This song is her debut single, and is included in that collection. Major influences of Rae's include Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Reba McEntire, Wynona Judd, Trisha Yearwood, and Kelly Clarkson. These ladies shine through in her music, and especially this song, with the girl-power theme, with pop/rock infused country production.
This song is a little more pop rock than country. It would be hard to call it country rock, although that is what it is, because when people hear country rock, they often think southern rock, which this is not. This song has the sound of some Speak Now era Taylor Swift songs mixed with "Wasting All These Tears" by Cassadee Pope. There is a mix of pop rock stylings and attitude with twang and some country instrumentals that creates an addicting tune.
Telling a story about a love that ended badly, Rae's vocals convey the story perfectly. Although the song is about heartbreak, it's a somewhat triumphant take on it, with Rae celebrating that fact that she's no longer involved in a negative relationship, and is now in one that makes her happy. As this song proudly displays, Rae has a strong, powerful voice that makes her stand out. It's the centerpiece of the song, and pays off well for Rae.
Camille Rae fits right in with the other up and coming female country artists. She has the voice and the lyrics to take her far, and this song is just the beginning of her talent. Kelsea Ballerini, Cam, Lindsay Ell, Maddie & Tae and the other girls have a new member in the next women of country group. Camille Rae is here!
Overall rating: 4 ½ crowns
