Rock singer-songwriter Tracy Dell makes a triumphant comeback with her new single, "With You," a soaring power ballad that links the classical rock spirit with the honest reality of the 21st century. Produced by Dolly Parton's producer, Kent Wells, and his team, the tune is like a slap in the face. Dell is entering a new era of artistry, and she's damn well doing it with grandeur.
"With You" taps into the emotionally punchy nature of the rock-pop anthems that fueled the late '90s and early 2000s. Big hooks and soaring guitars carry the song, with a chorus that demands to be screamed along at top volume, Dell's voice moving effortlessly from strength into tenderness. She adds openness, not just muscle, to her singing in a way that stays with you long after the song's over.
"With You" is transformational. It's about a free-spirited woman discovering that happiness isn't reduced by love, it is multiplied. "With You" is about openness and trusting that relying on someone isn't weakness, it's empowering, and the joy of connection. There is a familiar, reflective pulse here, the type of sound that recollects late-night drives with the radio cranked up to 11 or cassette-deck sing-alongs that incised certain songs into memory. And yet, Dell comes to it newly, rendering "With You" at once timeless and timely.
Tracy Dell proves she's a storyteller who isn't afraid to deliver the goods with her heart on her sleeve. "With You" is an anthem of growth, connection, and the undying beauty of love.
