CAROLYN MILLER

                                                           "Well Enough Alone" 

                                                            Independent Release

Carolyn Miller has used the second half of this year to ambitiously carve out her path among country music as she’s stamped her name down in monumental ways.

The monthly “Women of Country” songwriter nights she hosts at popular Nashville hotspot Live Oak have been met with tremendous praise since launching during the 2022 CMA Fest, while her single releases, the softer paced “Why Do I” and purely blissful, rekindling lyrics of the pop country styled “New Wore Off,” have both turned industry heads and quickly resonated with listeners.

Miller now returns with her new single, “Well Enough Alone,” the 3^rd of her 4 planned releases this year.

There’s a mid-tempo melody that’s synonymous with summertime in country music as it gives you a float on the breeze atmosphere that wraps into a groove that keeps you swaying along with it; Carolyn fully encompasses that vibe with this song as she hangs on to summer’s last hurrah within its feel.

Lyrically, the majority focus stays bent on being carefree and getting out of the same old, boring routine as she laments through the first verse that she’s been playing it safe with the same crowd for months now.

However, while her friends are all telling her to leave - presumably from a bar - a guy that looks like James Dean just walked in and in an “I know better” type of way, she apologizes to her future self as she confesses in the chorus that she’s “already seeing myself in that white tee,” before warning him that whatever might happen between them, if anything at all, will be nothing more than a lusting, flirty fling and not a forever type of love:

“But baby you should know

I can leave when it’s time to go

But I can’t leave well enough alone”

She continues to travel into the only for right now fling mentality during the second verse when she provides fair warning to him one last time, “If we’re getting too deep, I’ll find somewhere that I gotta be.

“Well Enough Alone” is ultra-flirtatious and shows Carolyn Miller completely letting loose and having playful fun. But what has continually made her so buzzworthy in 2022 is that at center of every song she’s released, regardless of the feel in the tempo and melody, sits Miller’s powerfully outstanding vocals that perfectly capture every emotion, every feel, and reaches through the speakers to grab the heart of the listener and connect her lyrical stores with their own
