Courtney Jean’s released an excellent sort-rock track that’s very poppy but has also touches of Americana and country in it. It’s an intriguing blend of genres and quite surprisingly, works wonders.
“Better Than Versace” is about choosing love over money. And although this is a theme that’s been tackled in pop music a plethora of times in the distant and not so distant past, Jean does it through metaphors of vanity items and shopping sprees, which makes all the difference. It’s a clever approach that turns a dusty, age old topic into a fresh, new one and makes her songwriting stand out.
As for the poppy side of things, Jean’s got the voice for it and also, a little bit of pop in the songwriting front never hurt anyone … quite the opposite in fact. One only has to listen to the chorus of “Better Than Versace” to realize this. It’s very compelling.
“Better Than Versace” is a strong offering from this up-and-coming artist and the song comes with a very cool music video, which I urge you to watch. Whoever likes Americana, country or pop will find both irresistible.
