Impressive Break Out Track Flammable From 17 Year Old Shelby Merchant!
Album reviewed by:

Never have we ever heard of such a strong, debut track from such a young artist. Colorado-based Shelby Merchant cites inspiration from Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers as well as world-reknown Janis Joplin and Dolly Parton. Each of these can be heard throughout the many layers of the track. Her clean vocal style reminds us of Dolly and her impressive lyicism brings our minds straight to young Taylor. The country roots are evident in her songwriting style but the overall inspiration pulls some of those edgier Joplin rock elements.
Merchant has nailed the concept of a hook with the remarkably catchy and metaphorical chorus. After just a first listen we're confident "Cause it's a little too flammable like hairspray and matches" will be stuck in your head. This outstanding single hit streaming platforms on July 24th and is steadily buidling the traction for the release of her first album way past seventeen. After "Flammable" we certainly can't wait to hear what Shelby will be dropping next!
