Being an independent artist in music today is something that is about as hard as it gets. Michael Dean Church has been through the trials and tribulations of the music industry and after the success of his first single he is releasing his newest song “Take It Out On Me”. The song is the second single from his Extended Play EP that was released exclusively to Itunes in September. Michael who is known for his first single “Why Can’t You Forgive Me” which was a fun and upbeat song switches his tune on this single with a slow ballad. The West Virginia native definitely shows of his strong vocals and unique sound with the new tune.

The song itself is about someone he loved who always would take out their pain on him no matter what happened because he was the one they loved. In the song he sings about how he tries to be strong but it hurts him seeing her hurt. Overall the song is a great ballad that is well written and sang even better.

Taylor Swift’s music seems to become more popular by the day and was by far the highest selling country album this year as she has stayed at the top of the chart almost two years after her debut album was released. This is something that very few accomplish in the country genre. One of the largest reasons she has done this is because of her younger fan base but with her new single “Love Story” she might just alienate her older country fan base that will support her for years to come.

If I were a reviewer from a Disney or teen publication I may give it a different rating because after all the song isn’t terrible in quality but it isn’t for a country music fan, and of course that’s our forte. The songs lyrics go very off course at times changing from modern day to lines about “Romeo & Juliet” which do not connect well. I guess you could say this song is a stretch for the country genre but will connect better with the young fan base she seems to be pursuing. The song is the first single from her second studio album entitled Fearless which will be available in early November.
