JUSTINE BEVERLEY - PASSENGER SEAT

 

'Passenger Seat' is one of those songs that from the the first note instantly has you hooked.  Her debut single and what a song, dripping in those country sounds and the deeper we get into the song the deeper the instrumentation becomes, which wraps itself around you and doesn't let you go.  A song that was "born from heartbreak" a car ride with a colleague that blurred those lines of professional and personal.  Justine has taken that experience, those feelings that she had and put them into a song that both lyrically and instrumentally holds a lot of raw emotion.  Through out, Justine expresses that pain and as the song continues the feeling of strength begins to shine through.  There is a warmth in the instrumental, the up beat pop sound is wrapped with those country moments from the fiddle, guitar and banjo.  The drums setting the pace, that rolling rhythm that allows Justine's voice to glide through effortlessly.
