Single Review: Kelleigh Bannen - Famous

Kelleigh Bannen had a strong start to her career with a buzzworthy album and then signing to EMI Nashville and releasing "Sorry On The Rocks" in 2012. But then the single went 'nowhere.' Does "Famous" have enough to suggest that Bannen can break out in 2014? let's find out here!

The melody mixes a percussive beat and mandolins into an infectious bed that backs up strong lyrics which find Bannen singing about the various ways she’s gonna make a guy famous in a small town for how horrible he treated her and about the lies and cheating ways he had. Written by Sara Haze, Troy Verges & Gordie Sampson, “Famous” certainly is a 180 from the singer’s previous material and that might get some ‘traditionalist’ fans who were behind her early self-released album to wonder if she’s chasing ‘trends’ but when a song’s this good does it really matter?
