Though
it was a shock to see her eliminated on
The
X Factor last season, it’s no surprise
Rachel
Crow, the sweet little girl with the big voice (and a clear fave of Simon
Cowell) is moving on to bigger and better things.
Not
only does she have a recurring role on Nickelodeon’s Fred: The Show, but she’s also going on tour with Big Time Rush in
July, debuting songs from her self-titled EP, set to release this Tuesday, June 26. We got a sneak peek at the
five tracks on her new EP and we’re officially obsessed with this talented
star!
The
first track, “Mean Girls,” may have a soft and quiet beat, but Rachel’s voice
remains strong and powerful throughout. It tells the story of all those who
feel like an outcast, whether you’re eating lunch all alone or being called
names. The emboldening chorus (“Mean girls, you no longer rule my world”)
encourages every girl being bullied out there to stand up for themselves and
not let the meanies get to you anymore.
“Rock
With You” (ft. Mann) is more of an upbeat song with a funky beat. Rachel’s
flawless voice carries a fun melody (“Don’t turn your back on the sound, ‘cause
I really wanna rock with you, boy!), while Mann comes in with some rap—and,
surprisingly, it fits!
“Lemonade”
is a chill, breezy song, perfect to blast sitting poolside, sippin’, well,
lemonade! It’s a lighthearted track with positive lyrics like “glass is half
full” and “life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
“My
Kind of Wonderful” is an adorable love song that’s still got some kick to it. A
snappy beat goes along well with Rachel’s cute lyrics about her friends not
understanding the appeal to a guy who’s “barely as tall as me.” But she doesn’t
care what they think—he makes her “heart go boom, boom, boom!”
“What
A Song Can Do” is a simple jam with a steady beat, perfect for hearing the
incredible accuracy with which Rachel smoothly hits her notes. This track is
all about the power of music and how songs can help us escape from our
problems. Perfection!
After
listening to Rachel Crow’s self-titled EP, it’s clear this 14-year-old girl has
mad talent. And her simple, relatable tunes are ones you don’t want to miss!
Rachel may not have won The X Factor,
but she’s won our hearts for sure!
