 The production and lyricism of “Here in the Middle” represents the next era in Racyne’s journey as a singer-songwriter. Racyne worked with producer Randall Kent out of Nashville, TN to bring to life what she thinks is her best work yet! She hopes this new single “meets you wherever you are along your own journey”.

 “Here in the Middle” opens on a mellow, haunting guitar, followed by the entry of Parker’s deliciously inflected voice, at once velvety and intoxicating imbuing the lyrics with hints of disquiet, It’s one of those exquisite voices full of subtle nuances and vibrant tones. An alluring rhythm gives the tune a compelling feel and flow as gleaming guitars merge with a sighing steel guitar, infusing the harmonics with stylish flavors and creamy leitmotifs."

"Now while there are certainly glimmers of folk that show themselves quite clearly, we personally enjoyed just how rock-leaning this all came out to be. If anything, the band shows off an impressive versatility from song to song, showing their strengths off in how to correctly structure a song. The moods continuously shift, but the cohesion in these songs from start to finish are as together as can be. Although there’s different styles at play, you know it’s all coming from the same record and not jumping around just for the sake of it. It also gives the listener that overwhelming feeling to listen, learn those lyrics, and belt them out as loud as possible on a long car ride!"

"A pop flare added to the traditional singer-songwriter style, the new track, “I’ll Keep You,” is deemed as Parker’s first real love song, with previous releases about the ups and downs in relationships." 

- Linsey Rotter, Music Mecca

 "Premiering on Music Update Central, the lyrics and music reflect the bits of joy and ease in a relationship, while the video embraces the vibrant energy of dating butterflies... The video screams love and happiness as Parker dances around and takes in the sun poolside. “I’ll Keep You” is the first real love song Parker has released..."

I’m sure you won’t mind me saying that your new song "I'll Keep You," is just fantastic. What do you feel is special about this song that makes people want to hear it?  

Thank you, I’m so glad that you enjoy it! I think that “I’ll Keep You” is an easy, fun, bop-of-a-song that pulls you in and invites you into a moment of sunshine, summertime, smiles, and love. That’s why I think people will want to hear it – this year has certainly been heavy, and this song provides you with 3 minutes and 50 seconds of levity, lightness, and relief that I think we could all use right now.

"Singer/songwriter Racyne Parker unveils new single I’ll Keep You. Perfect blend of pop and country music. Energetic, yet calm. Fun to listen to, worth many repeated listens. Racyne's vocals are backed by live drums, a fresh bassline, easy guitar licks, an occasional synth, and pop-esque piano. I’ll Keep You suits Racyne’s style so well. Catchy in its structure. Perfect song for Friday. Let the weekend begin!"

"Parker says the vocals on the track are rough around the edges, but she likes it that way; the imperfections convey the raw emotions she felt while writing and recording the song." 

- Katrina Leibee, Denver Westword

"This latest single carries a vibrant simplicity that comprehends the shire beauty within Racyne’s passionate & angelic voice, which enables this gifted performer with an opportunity to bring the lyrical journey behind the song to centre stage for the full duration of this captivating release."

- Jess, Fierce & Fabulous Revolutions

 "The five songs feature attractive melodies and lyrics that ring of a sincere songwriter writing about her own experience...Parker writes interesting lyrics that talk about life, love and the pursuit of it even through the ups and downs."

- Nolan Conghaile, C.U.R. Country  

 "‘I’m A Mess’ is a promise of sorts. It’s the thought of looking at the small things in life that could matter more. Simple, well kept, edges with an indication of wariness, Racyne’s vocals tie her lyrics into drifts of wood, wandering down a creek in a summer’s late afternoon. She tells us that ‘if you are a mess…this one is for you’. The uplifting single of challenges and recognition for action, is the gift of the new track."
