Here comes Jennifer Alvarado, confidently striding forward like this swagger-laden smalltown girl, well aware of her charm, marching towards glory. Rock this way, the second single off her Songbird album really lands like a sound bomb with its buoyant instrumental.
Jennifer Alvardo – Rock This Way
The guitar work is slick and precise, successfully establishing a kind of festive rural pop vibe that reverberates through the room, perfectly marrying the empowering lyrics. “We’re gonna rock this way to the beat/Steady as a drum/Gonna prove us right and prove them wrong”, sings our sassy cowgirl.
Jennifer sports a kid of slightly deep, yet irresistibly feminine, voice and approaches this number a very classic country manner in a performance that borders on grittiness while remaining undeniably seductive. Her delight in delivering each word is so evident you can almost picture her smirk as she strides in her tight top and shorts, complete with a stylish cowboy hat, towards her pickup truck, ready to take over the world! All while being effusively cheered on by the boy choir that trails her every time she utters the word “Rock!”.
The song is already making waves in the industry, as it has just been named “Best Pop Song” and “Best Overall Song” by the Indie Songwriting Awards in Spring 2022. Stand clear of this girl’s path! Let’s join the entourage!
