Priscilla Block – Priscilla Block – Track by Track
The six track EP lasts 20 minutes.
1. Wish You Were The Whiskey
Now I’m drunk, like a fireball lighting me up Put it to my lips and I feel that rush Letting 80 proof do what it does And I’m high, it’s rocking me through the night Keeping me warm, holding me so tight Finally feeling fine, and then it hits me I wish you were the whiskey
I guess that quite some of you know the opener of the EP already. To me, it is just a great selection as a first song. Very powerful, straight forward, country enough to be country and pop enough to be catchy. Great song, great voice.
2. Just About Over You (radio edit)
So, let’s push this one to the 30 million ones soon. The song is just really good. What else do I need to say.
3. Heels in Hand
After these two previous singles, the Prescilla Block EP now continues with three songs which have not been released before these six ones. Again, the song has a lot of power. Block’s voice feels so perfect. Very good song, good presentation – and nice lyrics. Good one.
4. Sad Girls Do Sad Things
With Sad Girls Do Sad Things, Priscilla Block proofs that she is also doing great in the slower songs. The song is – not too surprisingly – very melancholic, Block’s high voice adds a certain touch of fragility. Beautiful.
5. Bad Part Of Good
Bad Part Of Good is the third song, which has not been released as a single before. The song rather connects to the first songs of the album. A very present voice, the song is having a nice drive and power. Good listen, even though I liked the openers more.
6. I Bet You Wanna Know
I Bet You Wanna Know “just” has lead to some three million streams on Spotify. To me, this EP is that good, the song almost feels a bit of weak to me. I like the different style in Block’s voice. The chorus is great to remember, for sure, though.
