What day other than Sunday would be better to post about a track called "Sunday Best"? I've been keeping a close eye out on Scarlette over the past few months as she preps to release her new EP, and I have to say this single has got me amped once again. And even better -- it may be a genre you wouldn't expect from this site. Prepare yourself for more country-pop. It's the good kind, I promise!
I have to say that Scarlette has continued to impress me. She started out as a bit middle of the road, and has now settled nicely into the country-pop blended genre as a standout of the forthcoming artists of said sect. This track is fresh from her recent stint recording in California, and it shows a distinct improvement in quality and vocal strength. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing an artist realize their potential, even if there's always room to grow.
The track itself is much more Reba than Taylor Swift in regards to the archetypes. Her vocals are so perfect for this style of music, and she isn't afraid to belt out those notes towards the end. What I really love about this song in comparison to other country tracks is that it isn't just walking your through a story while holding your hand. Sure, there's a story to it, but she has it wrapped up in metaphors and other poetry, making it just as mysterious as it is heart-felt.
"Sunday Best" is the lead-in single for her upcoming EP Single White Female. The EP is due out October 23, 2013. The EP consists of two versions of "Sunday Best" as well as two other tracks recorded live. That's not much of a wait for us all, which makes me even more excited. According to the mailer I got on this latest single, it is also a nice taste of what's to come for her full-fledged album Attack Of The 6ft Woman, due out early next year. No word yet on if the album will contain studio versions of the live tracks mentioned before.
Currently you can listen to the track on SoundCloud and pre-order the single on iTunes due out September 29.
Scarlette who!? It's all about Gaga and Brandon Hilton!
