Irish singer-songwriter Janet Devlin is back in the spotlight with her new single "Houston," This track kicks off the newly expanded version of her popular 2023 album, titled "Not My First Emotional Rodeo" "Houston" bursts with lively energy, featuring catchy beats and a fun, cheeky vibe that's hard to resist.
Written by Devlin and Chris Markey, and produced by Paul Whalley at the renowned Abbey Road Studios, "Houston" showcases Devlin's adoption of a Nashville-inspired sound. The song explores a theme that many can relate to, the power of being true to oneself, highlighting how solitude can feel liberating rather than lonely.
From the moment the song begins, you can feel the upbeat rhythm and hear Devlin's distinctive voice, which flows effortlessly over the lively guitar sounds. Her delivery this time is more confident, bringing a sense of stability. The final result is refreshing and energizing.
Janet has a way of painting vivid pictures with her words, often drawing from her experiences in the quiet countryside, where stillness and starry nights set the scene. In "Houston," she captures that feeling of freedom and joy in a fun, three-and-a-half-minute package. You can practically imagine her walking through a sunny field with a guitar, fully alive and enjoying the moment.
