Sloan Treacy

At just 16 years old, Nashville-based songwriter and rising star Sloan Treacy impressively dissects emotion with poetic precision as if she has experienced lifetimes of emotional near-misses. Her newest single, “The Good Part,” recorded in Los Angeles and serving as a precursor to her upcoming sophomore EP, offers a poignant reflection on denial and vulnerability, proving that she is wise beyond her years. Dripping with sincerity and enchanting emotion, the track captures the pain of holding on and waiting for something that may never arrive, despite knowing that letting go would be wiser, something many people twice her age still struggle to articulate.

The Good Part” is backed by influential collaborators, including producer Don Miggs, who has worked with legends like Dolly Parton and Cowboy Mouth, lending credibility to the production. The mix, crafted by Grammy-winning engineer Mark Needham, features a shimmering, cinematic pop sound that perfectly complements Sloan’s heartfelt vocal delivery. Her voice carries a fragility that evokes the calm before the storm, allowing listeners to perceive the looming emotional upheaval intuitively.

Thematically, “The Good Part” explores the protagonist’s existential dilemma, encapsulating their entrapment in a repetitive cycle of aspirational yet ultimately unfulfilling promises. The lyric, “Honey, can’t you wait a little longer? We were just getting to the good part… Or is that all we had to offer?” alongside “There’s only one life left to conquer,” echo a profound juxtaposition of resignation and lucidity, resonating with those who may conflate fleeting escapism with genuine liberty. The track’s dynamic build is intentionally gradual, effectively mirroring the intricate emotional landscape of recognizing a deteriorating situation while simultaneously nurturing hope for a favorable future. This nuanced approach provokes deeper contemplation regarding the tension between desire and disillusionment.

Treacy’s artistry masterfully navigates the delicate intersection of youthful vulnerability and intellectual maturity, feeling neither contrived nor overly polished. Her work draws listeners into an intimate and magnetic exploration of emotion that is both honest and captivating.
