The song's mournful pedal steel and hypnotic acoustic guitar, backdropped with a solitary whistle, craft an exquisite yet desolate landscape, resonating with the soul-stirring authenticity of Parker's voice. Delving into a rich country-western soundscape, it marries Parker's hypnotic vocals with banjo's and cello's stirring notes, reaching a crescendo of emotional depth and ethereal beauty that envelops you in a profound, otherworldly experience.

“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!"
- We Write About Music
"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

- 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."
