Song Review/ Americana : Sarah Brunner’s ‘Miss Kentucky’
Sarah Brunner is a singer-songwriter with a rich Americana sound. She’s a great performer. You can feel the theme, the emotion take intentional shape in her vocals. And it casts a powerful spell. Her latest release is ‘Miss Kentucky’, a track that delves into the issue of homosexuality and the universality of love. The song forms along the edges of the love, as conventionally or politically defined and slowly cracks these boundaries.
With moments of deep humanity, vulnerability and soul confessions, she takes the listener to the other side. Where love feels limitless, light and free. The instrumentals are incredibly expressive, bringing moods and theatrics that the vocals can become inspired by. By mid-song, you realise that the artist makes the soundscape immersive by alternating between intimate reflections and performative storytelling. As a live performer, she’s not left the stage behind. It lives within her songs, shaping the atmosphere.
