Juliet McConkey's latest single, “Horses Around” serves as a serene, yet powerful prelude to her much-anticipated sophomore album, Southern Front. The track beautifully captures her yearning for simplicity and authenticity in a world that often feels overwhelming and superficial.
From the very first chord "Horses Around" draws listeners into McConkey's peaceful vision of life. Her lyrics paint a picturesque scene: “Don’t need a boatload of paper money, just a warm bed and good fresh honey and a back porch to watch the sun go down and a few pretty horses around”. This imagery contrasts sharply with the hectic pace of modern culture, offering an alternative for those who find themselves weary of the stress that seems to follow us everywhere.
