And now, it’s here: The first single from my personal Idol Kimberly Caldwell‘s upcoming debut album, Without Regret, entitled “Mess of You.”

CLICK HERE TO STREAM THE TRACK.

Contents: Throaty, smoker’s voice; guitar sounds; two verses, a chorus, and a bridge.

Chorus noise: “Oh, oh, I’ll make a mess of you / Oh, oh, the hell I’ll put you through / I’ll make a mess of you / You can trust me, trust me.”

The general point being: I’m not perfect, but I’m perfect for you.

Sounds like: P!nk; Kelly Clarkson.

Generally speaking: It’s a solid, guitar-driven belter, and I still could not be prouder.

“Mess of You” will be released to iTunes very soon.
