Review: MaRynn Taylor – Something I Would Do

The 21-year-old has had a whirlwind couple of years, impressing Black River Entertainment and being surprised with a recording and publishing contract live on air during a radio interview. She released her debut EP with them in the summer of last year and it’s a belter. Her blend of country-pop is upbeat and relatable, and her voice is both powerful and sweet. The production blends traditional country instrumentation like the banjo and fiddle with a drum machine whilst lyrically she refers to typical country themes, referencing Johnny Cash in EP opener ‘Sounds Like Something’. Melodically the whole record is riddled with catchy hooks that get stuck in your head. My favourite track on the record is ‘Slow Dance in Headlights’, it’s a beautifully written tune and her vocals really shine. I expect 2023 to be even bigger for this fast-rising star!
