""(Looking Through) Rose Colored Glasses," the new single from Davis' forthcoming Graceland Way, is a freewheeling girls' trip (with Tim Heidecker) that coasts into "Wide Open Spaces"-level jubilation. Recorded just a 20-minute drive from Laurel Canyon, these tight chorus harmonies and sun-kissed pedal steel wear their Californian influence like a bedazzled Stetson."
"If your main harp references are Joanna Newsom, Mary Lattimore, and the intro to "The Boy is Mine," let Davis remind you what country-rock harp can do (we'd expect nothing less from someone who also plays in a band called Grateful Shred). Two minutes in, the tab starts to hit and a kaleidoscope of harp glissandos whoosh us into an interlude as twinkly as the stars above."
Mikaela Davis and Madi Cunningham collaborate on '(Looking Through) Rose Colored Glasses,' a freewheeling country-rock track from Davis's forthcoming album Graceland Way. Recorded near Laurel Canyon, the song features tight chorus harmonies and sun-kissed pedal steel that evoke Californian influences. Davis, known for her work with Grateful Shred and her 2023 album And Southern Star, showcases innovative harp playing that references artists like Joanna Newsom and Mary Lattimore. The track builds to euphoric choruses with kaleidoscopic harp glissandos creating a psychedelic interlude, blending cosmic country sensibilities with rock energy.
