Album Description
Available in:
"Blue Roses" is the debut full length studio album of American country music group Runaway June. It was released June 28, 2019 via Wheelhouse. "Buy My Own Drinks" was released as its debut single in August 2018 and reached the top 20 of the Billboard Country Airplay charts, making it the first time a female group or trio had done so in fourteen years.
User Album Review
The album opens with Head Over Heels, which was recently released as a preview track. It’s a twangy, upbeat number with plenty of swagger, which sees the band swearing off a guy who only calls them when he’s drunk and lonely. Naomi’s smooth and husky lead vocals put me in mind of a young Shania Twain and I love the clever wordplay in the chorus, as well as the sassy, defiant feel of the lyrics. There are some nice rocky touches too and I can see it very quickly becoming something of a break-up anthem.
One thread running through the record is the 90s influences, as well as traditional instruments featuring on almost every track. There’s a bit of a revival of this sound going on in mainstream country at the moment, and Runaway June have definitely captured it here.
The album closes with the title track, a loving ode to Naomi’s younger brother who was tragically killed in a car accident, and which made me cry the first time I heard it at C2C. The simple, stripped-back production is a departure from the rest of the record, putting the emphasis firmly on the trio’s stunning vocals, and it’s impossible not to be moved by the lyrics and storytelling.
For me, Blue Roses is the best debut album of the year so far and shows that Runaway June are primed to become one of the leading country bands in the next few years. It’s a sunny slice of pop-country with some great 90s influences as well as rocky touches, a great balance between more uptempo numbers and ballads, incredibly clever and vivid songwriting, and those beautiful harmonies pulling the whole thing together.
