The keen reader might remember a recent article we published about country-pop royalty Eileen Carey, praising ‘Carry Me Away’ as “incredibly heartwarming and wholesome, wrapping listeners into a comfortable, yet reflective aural experience”. We stand by our words; listening to Carey’s wisdom-filled lyricism and evocative melodies, we can’t help but notice her timeless aura, a monumental artistic stature that marks Carey as a giant in her field and scene. On that note, ‘This is Where’ confirms it all, delivering yet another slice of country-pop goodness drenched in relatable songwriting and anthemic vocals.
It’s a welcome return for Eileen, one that highlights her unwavering commitment to music and self-expression. Featuring a healthy portion of modern pop influences, ‘This is Where’ appears to embrace the future without ever forgetting the past, unfurling a sonic experience that’s familiar, yet never obvious or cliché. Carey’s vocals are still as powerful as we remembered them, tenderly guiding the listeners towards a meaningful lyrical truth.
Delving deeper into the single, Carey explains: “It’s a reflective, uplifting breakup song about two people who outgrew each other but carried the courage, love, and lessons forward, realising the end of their story is actually the beginning of who they’re becoming.” We appreciate the empowering, hopeful outlook surrounding the song’s breakup narrative. We suspect it will relate to a large audience out there.
