Country Great Pamela Hopkins Delivers Mature Sound On “Straight Shooter”
Finally, we are getting a new single from one of the Country greats Pamela Hopkins. Straight Shooter slated for a July 29th release is probably one of the most anticipated singles of 2022, After the huge success of her last single One Too Many, and one of my personal favorite Country tracks ever One More Last Kiss; Pamela Hopkins is taking the country world by storm. Straight Shooter follows in the wake of these singles with another majestic performance in which Pamela pushes the envelope of her vocal styles combining mid-alto narrative while accentuating each cadence with her signature soprano twang. Yes, the Country girl can really sing, while maintaining her grounding in the style which makes her shine. Straight Shooter is just this, a straight shooter song highlighting the artist’s drink of choice. Yeah, we are not dealing with global warming or political metaphor, we are celebrating a drink with friends. “You know I don’t drink beer, I don’t drink wine, I’m a straight shooter, all the time. I like the burn going down.” Hey if this doesn’t make you want a drink with this girl, what would? Of course, from an artistic perspective, this song could be riddled with metaphor of a person who does not care to be lied to and manipulated, just give her the straight story and everything will be fine. Or just give her a “Whiskey on Ice” because that is just what she likes. Instrumentally, Straight Shooter has checked the boxes of effective grooves, inciting that line dancing rhythm with the walking bass and very tight drumming. The guitars offer chord progressions which help shape the lyrical structure, with just the right amount of melodic patterns thrown in to harmonize the vocals.

Not only can Straight Shooter find its place on any Country commercial radio playlist, but it would also most likely challenge for number one in rotation. The infectious chorus coupled with the dynamic hook the vocals provide make this a sure hit in this field. With close to a million streams and counting the ever-growing catalog of Pamela Hopkins proves without a doubt, that there is plenty in the arsenal for entertaining and danceable tracks to follow. The production is quite solid as well, a very professional and mature package that fills the audio spectrum while maintaining a solid bottom end. In my opinion, Straight Shooter perfectly balances the catalog of Country gems Pamela is already amassing, this one is straight-up fun, not meant to be challenging. This is ok for artists to show this side of themselves, as fans can relate to the artist on a personal level with greater ease. So grab a round of drinks for the party, just remember Pamela Hopkins is a Straight Shooter.

Dirty Hands Nation comes out swinging with a strong message on “Due Diligence,” a daring single that harnesses frustration, awareness, and determination in a bold musical statement.

Where the song works best is in its direct engagement with politics and economics.
