SINGLE REVIEW: Carly Pearce’s ‘Should’ve Known Better’

Award-winning country music artist Carly Pearce is getting honest on her latest single ‘Should’ve Known Better’ which is the latest single to be lifted off her forthcoming EP ’29’ which will be released across all leading digital download and streaming platforms from Friday, February 19th.

Pearce is releasing herself from the shackles and laying her heart and soul bare with this stunning, heartfelt ballad that delivers an honest lyrical story that gives us all a little insight into the heartbreaking break-down of her marriage to fellow country artist Michael Ray late last year.

As we know country music is synonymous with the truth, and Carly Pearce has definitely taken the phrase “three chords and the truth” to heart with ‘Should’ve Known Better’ as she plays out how she fell for Ray hook line and sinker despite knowing the signs meant that this wasn’t going to work.

It’s a truly stunning offering from Carly as she comes into her own as a performer showing that she has matured since bursting onto the scene several years ago and is now ready to be totally authentic both as an artist and as a person and this single feels like the start of that grounded honesty.

The simplistic production overlay meanwhile gives Pearce plenty of room to let her vocals breathe as she pours her heart into the raw lyrical story delivering one of the most impressive country ballads of the last ten years. This is a phenomenal release from an artist who has found her sound and isn’t afraid to share her story.
