Caitlin Mae has become well and truly versed in the sounds of Nashville. Her latest single ‘Your Truck’ is straight down the middle country at its modern best. A chorus fit for the dancefloor as pop mixes with banjo and pedal steel. It belies a narrative of nostalgia which transplants a Miss Havisham protagonist into an F-150 pick-up truck. Its driver long since moved on while she reels from “our last conversation… goodbye, good luck”. Not the first-time that the man in her song has upped and left, but there is a greater sense of unresolved heartbreak here. The bridge offering some form of acceptance – “you wanted safe / I was a flight risk to you” – without ever being tied to a neat ending. Caitlin leaving the listener hanging somewhere between ‘Mr Moving On’ and ‘House Sitting’. Two singles that would fit nicely with this one (on an upcoming EP perhaps?).
