Nation’s rising star Janet Devlin returns with ‘Sweet’ – a sweet-as-sugar monitor that marks the following chapter in her forthcoming deluxe album, ‘Emotional Rodeo.’ Musically cinematic and lyrically razor-sharp, the tune showcases her signature mix of conventional nation with a playful fashionable twist – solely heightening anticipation for the album’s launch.
Backed by twinkling fiddles and a jig-worthy refrain, ‘Sweet ‘takes a refreshing detour from the rock-leaning sound of her latest single ‘Houston,’ balancing euphoric highs with a laid-back Americana twang.
As with a lot of her discography, the monitor provides greater than ear-pleasing hooks – it comes with a taboo subject. Impressed by a story of a ‘sugar child’ truly falling head-over-heels in love with a ‘sugar daddy,’ ‘Sweet’ performs like a cheeky sequel to the unique album’s hoedown favourite ‘Daddy,’ flipping the stereotype with a wink.
Visually, Devlin leans into the satire: on the only cowl and accompanying photographs, she channels retro housewife stylish – large rollers in her hair, a child on her hip, and a slinky black costume as she struts via a lavish mansion.
Proving herself not only a country-rock grasp however a songwriter of rising wit, attraction, and poise, ‘Sweet’ is the scrumptious icing on the cake forward of ‘Not My First Emotional Rodeo,’ due out September twenty sixth.
