Having already earned 10 million culminative streams and a strong grassroot following that has continually elevated her status with each next turn, TracieLynn has combined her country essence and rock kissed aura into a branding that has made her one of country music’s fastest independent risers.
Since hitting #1 at Radio Disney in 2020 with “Good Kind of Crazy,” she’s layered her catalog with foundational favorites “Welcome To The Party,” “All Goes South,” “Ain’t Enough Whiskey,” and most recently, by capturing the differing personas of love with the fall in your arms sway of “First I’m Gonna Kiss You” and the fiery scorned moodiness of heartbroken betrayal, “To Hell.”
She now tones into her more sentimental side with her most personal song to date, “Pretty Machine.”
“I wrote ‘Pretty Machine’ for my mom, who’s been my guiding light and my rock,” Tracielynn shared. “When I surprised her with the song during a show, she cried the whole time—and so did many of the other moms in the audience. It’s about honoring the strength, love, and beauty of all the ‘pretty machine’ moms and mother figures out there.”
Co-written with Brian Alexander and Madison Hughes, the Western flared melody undertones the drive of the rhythmic pulse as TracieLynn flows her dynamic voice atop this captivating ode to her mom, balancing her naturally edged grit against proper touches of heartfelt softness to uphold the depth of the cleverly drafted lyrics.
Striking metaphors in the opening verse between the resilience of her mother and the reliability of a classic car, she uses then the second to add deeper description to attractiveness of both ends of her personality, the sophisticated ladylike aura with a side helping of take no guff confidence; “She’s Chanel perfume, smokes Camel Blues.”
Bending the definition of the word “machine” through the strike of the chorus, moving between the physical of an actual machine and the go, go, go trajectory of running life like a well-oiled unit on the back of never give up spirit, she sings:
“She’s a pretty machine
Runnin’ so wild and free
Nobody gonna tame her
Ain’t nothin gonna break her
Goin’ mile after mile
Does it all with a smile
She’s on fire like gasoline
She’s a pretty machine”
Ultra-personal songs like this are generally tougher to break. However, when they’re crafted in such a way that they instantly remind you of your own mother figure, it forms a bond through the snapshots that immediately connects heart to heart as has already been shown during her recent live shows and will only continue to grow stronger now with its official release.
