2013 helped to make country music mainstream and have one of the genres largest years to date. With acts like Lady Antebellum and Florida Georgia Line topping the charts, it is no surprise that it's cool to go a little country.
Up and coming country artists are capitalizing on this mainstream success and releasing their own music. Hannah Bethel has released her first country EP The Freedom. Bethel has a unique vocal style which echoes that of more classic country music training, instead of a more modern pop feel.
Songs off of the EP have a few clear influences including, Miranda Lambert but that helps to make the album feel current and modern with Bethel's classic vocal delivery.
The EP is fun, upbeat and feels like it could do well in the current country music landscape.
Stand out tracks on the album include, "Hellbent & Southbound," "If I Don't Love You Anymore" and "No Where Left to Roam." These tracks are memorable because fans can really feel the passion that Bethel put into the tracks when she was recording them. It has the country attitude that fans love and the musicianship that helps to make an EP great.
With the country music genre only getting larger and more popular, unknown artists like Bethel will soon be discovered by country fans looking for a new and fresh sound.
Bethel will be an artist to watch in 2014.
