A brand-new single release from Sicily Rose brings out a vivacious and high-octane country rock soundscape with a character-riddled performance and a little bit of a rowdy undertone that makes the song feel great to listen to nice and loud.
"HoDown" definitely wastes no time coming in swinging and that energy level is through the roof the entire time which makes the song super addictive, and believe me when I tell you, this is one of those songs you can't sit still for.
You will either get up and start dancing around the room, or you'll be shaking your butt in your seat if you're driving the car. Either way, you're moving and this is something you can't help when you listen to this song because it's got such a great deep southern groove that you can't get away from it.
The vocal performance throughout this track shines with presence and personality. I think this is an important aspect when you're coming out there as an artist, especially in the genre of country or pop because in case you hadn't noticed, country fans are pretty die-hard.
It's a good thing for them Sicily Rose is the full package and one of her strongest attributes is her ability to write songs that hit hard and come through with something that feels authentic staying true to the genre but also giving it a refreshing spin at the same time.
When you listen to this track you can tell she's actually having an amazing time doing it to the point where the whole thing feels almost like it was recorded live on the floor to an extent so that all the players involved could just feed off of each other the entire time.
Even if I'm wrong about the whole alive on the floor thing, listening to this track certainly makes you want to go see her perform it live because if the energy is captured this well on record then seeing it live must be amazing.
She's got a youthful and soulful vocal style to the way that she performed especially on this track in particular and the guitar work matches that energy super well.
One of my favorite things about this whole release is the accompanying music video because not only does it match that level of energy but it also shows even more of her character.
You can tell that Sicily is an artist that puts everything into what she's doing, definitely takes a lot of time to pay attention to detail both musically and Visually and this is part of what makes for the whole package in general.
Sicily Rose has everything that a country star should have and more. She hits all the sweet spots and she's an outstanding songwriter.
After listening to this track I took a little bit of a deep dive into her back catalog and came across about four other singles that were outstanding, and each showed a little bit of a different side of her songwriting approach and personality as well.
If you dig this song then you're going to dig everything that she's so far guaranteed.
Again, it's that character in that personality that you end up getting attached to right from the get-go.
After cranking this song and watching the music video we figured we should have a sit-down with Sicily to find out where this track came from, what kind of things inspire her, and what may be coming up next.
Here's what happened.
