Being called the 'Adele of country' is a big statement on its own. Being called the 'Adele of country' by Paul Worley? That is quite some praise and a heck of a lot of hype to live up to for a relative newcomer to Nashville.Yet, Fiona Culley doesn't seem to crack under this sort of pressure.
'Anywhere With You' may not be a big booming Adele-esque ballad but it is a fun, catchy number reminiscent of Kelsea Ballerini and early Taylor Swift. On paper, the chorus looks incredibly repetitive consisting of just two lines - Baby, there's anywhere with you/And then there's everywhere else - repeated over and over again but it works, the repetitive nature driving the song into your head where it will linger for ages, rather than driving you into turning it off. Lyrically, it's simple and the same could be said production wise with minimum production allowing Culley's vocals to shine throughout.
Listening to this single is a nice way to spend three minutes of your day and serves as the perfect appetizer for Culley's upcoming EP. If you have more than three minutes, make sure to check out her YouTube where there's also some fantastic covers to listen to!
