If country music were ever to be made into a perfectly produced pop track, there could not be a more fitting track to do so than ‘Better’ by the brilliant Lucy Warr.
This track features an immense vocal performance backed up by really top-notch production and some production techniques which seem to have been stolen from tech and dance genres that just sit amazingly in this track.
I’m being fussy here but after the initial EQ sweep building into the song, there is a big boost on the bass of the rhythm guitar, this could have been added in post to balance out the mix and stop the rhythm guitar from popping out too far.
The little touch of Lucy herself ‘I liked that one’ at the end of the track which is a nice way to end the tune and does so in a really sweet manner. Is it really needed? Peoples own personal taste will dictate this.
All in all, this is a brilliant track that definitely seems to combine a plethora of influences well. A piece of work that Lucy should be very proud of, it’s left me really intrigued to hear more!
