Sarah Conlan - Sarah Conlan Singles Review

25 May 2013 // A review by Miss_Jukebox

Sarah Conlan, a young country singer/songwriter is part of a country music resurgence happening before our eyes.

I always thought of country music as a self-contained genre. Its audience was stereotypically... well country folk. But now, country music fans are diverse. This can be attributed to young artists reinvigorating the genre in this country-pop crossover. Taylor Swift is the example that comes to mind, one of the biggest names in music right now.

Now, back to Sarah. Having already won a multitude of awards for her singing and song-writing, she is working on her first EP and has recorded a few singles in the meantime. Sweet Country Boy and Didn’t I showcase Conlan’s gentle vocals and dulcet tones.

Didn’t I in particular is a great song. This track has a strong spirit about a woman deciding she is better off without a man who left her. Country music is known for its strong female singers. Independent and powerful women, it is one of the genres where I think female artists are just as recognised as male artists. Conlan is certainly following this tradition and making her mark as a future country star.

-Janise.

15 Nov 2018 // by Miss_Jukebox
Having built a steady portfolio of compositions since the turn of this century, Age Pryor (Fly My Pretties, The Woolshed Sessions, Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra) has inconspicuously become a pillar amongst New Zealand’s finest artists. And in the same understated way his career has unfolded so far, his new single Burning Sun retains the unassuming charm and placidity of his sound.
