Lauren Alaina - Getting Good

[jamatthews83]

Where the fiddle fans at? In My Veins is a bop.

I really like Somebody Else's Problem and In My Veins! The Other Side and Ladies in the 90s were already great songs.

I don't love Getting Good still and Country In Me has a nice waltzy feel but the lyrics don't land for me.

Overall, a good effort!

This is a really solid EP. Country in Me sounds like a single. The fiddle in In My Veins is unreal. The Other Side deserves a Grammy. Somebody Else's Problem and Ladies in the 90s are both fun. Let's get the whole album out!

Love the fiddle In My Veins, and Somebody's Else's Problem is my jam! It's a shame this is so short and 3/6 were already released.

I want more!

“Country In Me” could literally be the single that launches her to the next level. SO GOOD. This EP is excellent, weakest is “Ladies in the Nineties”, and that’s even really good. Love the direction her music is headed, she’s definitely one to watch right now.

This is an excellent taste of album #3. I hope that because they put this EP out that it means the full length project is in the works for later in the year. I need "Getting Good" to hurry up and start picking up the pace soon, too.

Out of all the new songs, "In My Veins" seems to be doing the best on Spotify and I do think out of the 3 new songs "In My Veins" would make a good single to country radio, it is just around the perfect length 2:47.

“Somebody Else’s Problem” is such a jam. “In My Veins” is also wonderful; both would make for good singles, imo.

Kinda wish she’d just wait to put an album out before releasing songs though because now we’ve probably heard half (or more) of her next album...

Flawless, flawless EP! In a perfect world, they'd all do great at radio.

This is a great taste of what's to come for the rest of Album 3 and I'd like for it to be coming soon. "In My Veins" in particular is a bop and a half!

Because of streaming, this is the new norm: artists either releasing EPs ahead of the full album (usually for acts who might not be guaranteed hit single status, like Lauren Alaina) or a bunch of standalone tracks are dropped leading up to the album release (like what we saw recently prior to recent/forthcoming records from Miranda Lambert, Carly Pearce, Kelsea Ballerini, and Ashley McBryde, etc.).

I'm not a big fan of it either personally, but I do take them letting her release this EP as a good sign that they're probably gearing up to drop a full album sometime later in the year. It's better than nothing, especially if things go south for "Getting Good" in the coming months and her record gets delayed due to a lack of a hit to support it.
