Ashley Puckett Invites You to take a Shot of "Tequila"

Y'all, let me tell you 'bout the latest single from our girl Ashley Puckett - "Tequila." This sweet country starlet has outdone herself with her expressive lyrics and intriguing perspective on searching for acceptance and feeling more noticed in the lives of others around us. Using the imagery of talking to your drink, asking for advice and someone who will listen, Ashley really hits the nail on the head with this beautifully arranged narrative. 

"Shot after shot, I've even tried it on the rocks, but you're not listening." The elegant phrasing and attention to each articulation give this vocal performance its merit as each resolution ends on a downbeat, leaving the listener fully tuned into the hidden meaning of each seemingly simple lyric. "At the bottom of the glass, and you haven't said a word, oh tequila why aren't you listening?" 

This track is powerful, y'all. It offers listeners many outlooks and viewpoints, attracting a more diverse audience and sure commercial success for Ashley as she looks to etch her name in the Country music upper echelon. And let me tell you, Tequila joins an already impressive growing catalog of Country hits from Ashley Puckett like her dynamic album, "Never Say Never." 

"Tequila" offers a contrast to her signature sound by giving audiences a look into her ability to sing at any tempo, and her ability to travel between key centers. This is a very enjoyable track that should see commercial success on any Country radio playlist. The use of tequila as a metaphor speaks to traditional Country archetypes, while her vocal stylings and pop-infused melodies speak to contemporary fans as well. 

I can't get enough of Ashley Puckett, y'all. She's setting herself up as more than just an artist, musician, and performer, but a bonafide songwriting powerhouse. With the lyrical content on display here, Ashley Puckett can also utilize these skills to write and perform with many other artists across genres as well. So go ahead and take a shot of "Tequila," y'all - you won't regret it.
