Today's Country

 

Becky Schlegel attracted a huge amount of attention with the release of her last studio album For All The World To See. She drew comparisons to the likes of Alison Krauss and many of the reviews coming back focused on her ability to deliver her songs with an angelic like tone. That is exactly what Schlegel has done with her brand new single “So Embarrassing” as well. The songs lyrics are so real and truthful that you feel them as you listen to her sing about being deceived by the one that you love. An added bonus to the song is the appearance of Randy Kohrs providing the outstanding backup harmonies that helped to accent Schlegel’s incredible, unique voice. This single is an early preview of things to come with her 2010 release DANDELION, and if it is a solid indication of what else the album will hold for listeners than I suspect the critical acclaim to keep following Schlegel as she forges forward into the next stage of her career. Although there is a sense of growth and new heights reached with this song, Schlegel mostly seems to stick to what she does best and just keeps delivering it as she does with “So Embarassing.”
