Buckeye State is the sophomore release of artists Kristen Grainger & True North. After having released their 12-track album, Ghost Tattoo in 2020, the artists delve further into the magic of country music. Immensely warm and comforting, the song reminds us of simplicity of being a kid while simultaneously unpacking the complexity of adulthood.
A little Hozier-styled folk and smooth country blue melodies marry to live happily ever after. Warm basslines spread unrestricted across the track. Its vocals have a therapeutic allure as the lyrics deepen its emotion and kindness. The stream of consciousness and personal style indicates to the the track being autobiographical. A rising nostalgia emerging from a melancholic psyche.
The soothing vocals have a unique resonate that reflects the innate nature of the guitar acoustics. Reminiscent of fresh pines, damp wood, and early mornings. Its tone is as soft and light as the calming buckeye trees. With an immutable country theme, it is as rustic and mesmerizing as deer. Like a walk in the woods, branches of melodies brush fondly against us, while the vocals carries leaves of serenity like a playful autumnal breeze.
Its simplicity and minimalism speaks to cadency of the artists’ perception of the world and expression. It flows easily following the natural trajectory of the rhythm. Perfect for unwinding, and moments of sweet solitude at the end of the day, the track is a pleasant and unimposing companion.
