Kylie Rothfield - The Barrel

The Barrel - Kylie Rothfield (R&B/Pop) Oh this is a special one. We feel privileged to welcome Kyle Rothfield to the blog this week with her immaculate single “The Barrel”—one of our favorites in our recent reviews. “The Barrel” is a dreamy R&B number about drinking ones cares away. The melancholy bleeds through the pop track, which has some serious R&B leanings, as Kylie’s emotive performance is both raw and honey smooth. There are SERIOUS Adele vibes to the vocal here, and we get some “Diamonds and Pearls” era Prince in the overall feel of the track here too. The musicality is perfection on this one as well, as Kylie isn’t afraid to step out of the spotlight for a moment to highlight the instrumentation, including a soulful guitar solo. And then a fadeout! Remember the fadeout? This one’s a classic in the making.
