Review
Priscilla Block crashes the country music scene with her debut album, "Welcome to the Block Party," a sparkling mix of pop-country tunes that serve up a cheeky feminist twist. Released on February 11, 2022, via InDent Records and Mercury Records Nashville, this collection of 12 tracks—with each song penned by Block herself—firmly positions her as a songwriter who mines gold from personal experiences. Her single "Just About Over You" has already pranced up the charts, landing in the top 20, while the album bops along with a fresh and fun vibe that dares you not to tap your cowboy boots.
The album's eclectic blend of sassy, trashy, and just a touch of sad tunes gives listeners a kaleidoscope view of Block's emotional and vocal range, making her debut feel like a seasoned performer throwing a grand musical bash. While some critics hint at a sameness in a few tunes, the overall effect is a fabulously bold entry into country music that balances boot-stomping party anthems with more tender, introspective moments. The tracks "My Bar," "Wish You Were the Whiskey," and "I've Gotten Good" shine as thematic gems in this collection, making "Welcome to the Block Party" not just an invitation, but a compelling reason to stay and listen. Block's upfront mix of tracks ensures that her road ahead will be as glitter-filled as her music. - Chloe
