Willow Avalon isn't afraid to walk over the fine line between love and destruction in her new single, "Something We Regret." A smoldering, country-folk confession steeped in longing, "Something We Regret" encapsulates the intoxicating draw of a relationship that's equal parts irresistible and reckless.
From the first breath, a flared "1,2,3,4," whispered like a secret you're pulled into Avalon's universe. The instrumentation has plenty of country twang but wanders into darker, moodier territory, accentuating "Something We Regret" raw feeling. The opening chorus makes its intentions clear, "I love you like sugar, you love me like sex, Put us both together, we'll do something we regret, I shoot you like whiskey, and you sip me like red Put us both together, we'll do something we regret."
The lyricism sticks with you long after "Something We Regret" has evaporated bittersweet, brave, and hooky. The driving batteries of Avalon's voice, full of tenderness and edge, are a potent vehicle for this story of love's dangerous alchemy. As the drums are woven tighter and tighter and the guitar growls underneath her, she doesn't just sing about obsession; she makes you feel it.
With "Something We Regret," Avalon proves she is an artist without fear of touching on love's messy, magnetic corners. Read a song for late nights, bad decisions, and the passion that burns too hot to last. This is one you won't forget.
