Mikki Evans turns from pop to rock on her latest single ‘Watch Me’. The Country artist shows another side to her music with this low-toned, dirt-road offering. The presence of electric guitars and heavy drumbeats add significant attitude to deliver a strong statement of intent. It is made at the very start in the lines, “They said I was a weak one / never be someone / funny how the table’s turned”, and continues likewise into a chorus full of defiance. Two images in particular stand out: “watch me lose control / like the meanest bull at the rodeo” and “I’m as free as the air you breathe”. Both lines convey the strength of self-belief well; the refusal to be put down by those who seek to “drown my dreams in gasoline”. Instead, Mikki uses such fuel to make the passion inside her burn stronger, making this song an anthem for the denigrated and disparaged.
