Step into the soulful world of Wild As Her’s mesmerizing 11-track album, “Off The Leash,” where each song weaves a tapestry of emotions and musical prowess. Comprising singer-songwriter Caroline von Brünken and guitarist Chris Kaufmann, Wild As Her brings a gritty and powerful approach to Southern authenticity and heartfelt musicality.
The album opens with the enchanting “If It Ain’t Hurtin’,” where Caroline’s heady vocals immediately draw you in. The emotive, thick, and tender vocals ride atop a country-infused, melancholic melody. The chorus, “If it ain’t hurtin’ – it ain’t true love, if it ain’t burnin’ – it’s just a buzz,” leaves a lasting impression, conveying the bittersweet realization of the fading connection.
The album then takes a dramatic turn with “Red Flag,” showcasing Wild As Her’s ability to craft cinematic and soaring verses that lead into a powerful and anthemic chorus. The song delves into the turmoil of unfaithfulness, capturing the heartache and uncertainty of being in a relationship plagued by deception. The anecdotal lyrics, “Stop calling her name when you sleep next to me,” are delivered with captivating emotion, making “Red Flag” a standout track that leaves an indelible mark.
The album concludes on a high note with “Tequila Therapy (Honky Tonky Cut),” an homage to classic country music. Caroline’s thick, twangy vocals take center stage, painting a vivid picture of seeking solace at the bottom of a glass. The song is a delightful toe-tapper that showcases Wild As Her’s ability to infuse traditional country elements with their signature modern twist.
Listen to “Off The Leash” by Wild As Her to be a firsthand witness of the duo’s artistry with a fresh and authentic musical experience for yourself.
