ALANA SPRINGSTEEN

                                                            "Zero Trucks" 

                                                            Warehouse West Entertainment Records

Alana Springsteen has weaved her way onto a very solid path to success, and she has started to walk confidently forward on it with each song she releases being stronger than the one before it while uncovering another layer as to who she is as an artist.

Following her softer paced single “California,” a love letter to the Golden State if you will, Springsteen now returns with the up-tempo, country kiss off song of the summer with “Zero Trucks.”

This two-minute and forty-three second feel-good that we broke up song, written by Springsteen, Walker Hayes, and Joe Clemmons, leans against a ultra-catchy, clap-a-long with melody and Springsteen’s vocal prowess as she excitedly runs us through great lines that play on words, which as the title suggests, pull from truck references that compare to being set free from a sour relationship.

“I ain’t gonna chase your taillights.”

“I ain’t gonna miss your speakers.”

And my personal favorite lines from the bridge of the song:

“I ain’t looking in my rearview

I ain’t gonna miss your lift kit

If you miss my tailgate

Baby you can kiss it.”

Of course, there is also the very memorable play on words in the hook of the song itself, which takes a risk by leaning against the phrase that has become so popular today about giving zero <EXPLICT WORD>…  when she sings “I’ll be in the club getting low with my friends on the floor…giving zero trucks!”

Alana Springsteen is already on Pandora’s 2021 Country Artist to Watch list, but with the release of “Zero Trucks,” she uncovers a new, tongue and cheek layer that we really haven’t seen from her in the past which I expect will result in seeing her name being added to many more of these types of lists in the second half of the year.
