It opens with the witty and sassy “White Trash,” and she shows some attitude on the infectious “Mess with My Head,” and her nonchalant single “It All Comes out in the Wash.”
She shows some redemption on “Holy Water,” and she joins forces with fellow country songstress Maren Morris on “Way Too Pretty for Prison.” “Locomotive” is uptempo and edgy, while she slows down the tempo on “Bluebird,” where her vocals are crisp and heavenly.
Equally remarkable is the controlled and soothing “How Dare You Love,” while “Pretty Bitchin'” is a great deal of fun.
After the catchy “Tequila Does,” it closes with the mid-tempo and refreshing “Track Record” and on a fitting note with the harking ballad “Dark Bars.”
Wildcard is available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and on Spotify.
