Style: Country, Rock

The trend in country rock affectionately referred to as “truck commercial music” (heavy distorted guitar riff, a rolling bass and drumbeat that builds and builds–lots of big sounds) gets a new face and refreshing new voice on “American Boy,” the lead-off from Kelsey Hickman’s forthcoming EP Lights Out.

Hickman’s voice is stunning—rich, rockin,’ sweet at times and edgy when the material calls for it. “LUVUH8U” is fine, but leaves us wanting more—we have heard the “love and hate at the same time” song before. “Love Is For Suckers” is the most mainstream single—Miley Cyrus wishes she wrote this one!
