This song was never officially released as anything but a Soundcloud demo, but it is the best song rising country singer-songwriter Morgan Dawson has released so far. In this song, Dawson sounds so much like Carrie Underwood on some notes, bringing a sense of power to the song. It's a simply produced track, with just acoustic guitar and some sort of percussion, a drum or handclaps or both. This works in Dawson's favor, bringing the attention to her voice, and not the production. Her voice is what makes her one to watch, as shown in this track.
"Tricky" depicts a relationship in which whenever Dawson lets herself truly fall for this guy, she puts her heart in danger and puts herself in danger of making a bad decision. The story behind the song is interesting and relatable, which is what a country music song should be like. The song does have a pop influenced hook, but still remains firmly in the genre of country.
The thing about that song that makes it so special is the clearness of Dawson's vocals. Every note is so perfect, with no gravely quality to her voice, or any faltering in the vocals. In some cases, the perfectness could cause harm to the vocalist because the emotion has a hard time coming through in the vocals, but Dawson varies the urgency of her vocals in order to achieve this particular effect and it works like magic.
With her flawless vocals and interesting songwriting, Dawson will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.
Overall Rating: 5 crowns
