Canadian singer Brittany Kennell released her second Album, Pink Collar. The themes are love, heartbreak and friendship.
The music is a blend of Country and New Country. The album is edgy with a Shania Twain vibe. Brittany Kennell’s second record is impressive, with fantastic, experimental musical styles.
The album has dynamic, upbeat songs. The piece Wrong Horse (feat. Kelly Prescott) has a fantastic composition with a Garth Brooks vibe, such as with the piece Friends in Low Places. The music of this song reminds me of old-school Country sound. The tune House and a Dog has a bold guitar beat. The rhythm is wavy, uplifting, and edgy. It complements that modern, independent woman vibe.
The record also has incredible semi-fast tracks. The tune Grand Marquis has an old-school Country sound with a 70s vibe. The piece Trophy Wife starts with a strong, empowering beat, which complements the song’s story. Pink Collar has a catchy beat. The song has a rhythmic, musical style. It has a Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood vibe. It parallels Carrie Underwood’s early musical works. Together, We’re Rich has an uplifting, fantastic beat. The guitar sounds amazing throughout the song. The composition is modern and vibrant.
The ballads on this album are remarkable. Wait on You has intense, heavy music that represents heartbreak and disappointment. The way the guitar is played is impressive. The song Good Find has a calming and cheerful slow beat. The vibe feels hopeful. The music is incredible. The tune One Drink at a Time has a smooth rhythm. The song’s beginning parallels Roxette’s Listen to Your Heart and The Police’s Every Breath You Take. There’s an 80s vibe. Years (Feat. Matt Koziol) has a soothing guitar beat that parallels Shania Twain’s romantic songs (i.e. Forever & For Always and When You Kiss Me). The rhythm is smooth and relaxing.
The album’s music is intricate, distinct and stylish. Each song has an impressive beat and sound.
Brittany Kennell’s voice is dynamic. She sings each song with heart and soul and a bold passion. This album features two incredible duets: Wrong Horse (feat. Kelly Prescott) and Years (Feat. Matt Koziol). Wrong Horse is an excellent duet with Kelly Prescott. The two ladies’ voices complement each other nicely. The other duet is Years, which features Matt Koziol. His part in the song is heartfelt and soulful. The performances are fantastic.
The lyrics cover many subjects, from love to heartbreak to enjoying a single life. Brittany Kennell did an excellent job writing these songs and collaborated with other songwriters in some places.
The album has beautifully well-written love songs. Good Find is a hopeful tune that shows that true love exists and is the most incredible feeling in the world. Years (Feat Matt Koziolis) is a romantic piece about an older man who has been married for many years, advising young people about what it takes for a marriage, including patience and luck. The garden metaphor is a heartfelt touch in describing love and romance. Some songs cover heartbreak. Wrong Horse (feat. Kelly Prescott) is a fantastic song about the struggles of dating and how often one dates unsuitable partners before finding “the one.” The song’s title is an excellent metaphor for the challenges many face in the dating scene. Wait on You is a heartbreaking song about a failed relationship and the patience and courage it takes to move on.
Other songs cover the subject of being single and enjoying it. House and a Dog is a funny song about enjoying life as a single woman and getting a dog to ward off the pressure of others asking, “When are you going to get married,” which is an everyday situation, especially for young women. Grand Marquis is a bold tune. It celebrates being single and enjoying the freedom of life after a failed marriage. Trophy Wife is a fun and dynamic song about women’s independence and freedom from dating life, breaking away from the damsel in distress act. Pink Collar is an impressive song about modern women’s struggles—a fantastic feminist song. It describes standing up to “patriarchy” and being fed up with double standards. The mention of pink reminds me of Barbie and how it became the colour of women’s empowerment. One Drink at a Time is a profound piece about life after heartbreak, taking it one day at a time. It talks about the sadness stage of the grief. It’s relatable and so human.
Together, We’re Rich is a sweet song about two best friends enjoying life on a road trip. The mention of the Spice Girls and fast food gives the song incredible depth.
The album Pink Collar is available.
