“Urban Cowboy” by Cali Tucker is a pop country fairytale with magical storytelling and energetic production. Tucker’s unique artistry is on display as she tells the story of the mythical urban cowboy who could offer her the kind of love she is searching for. This distinctive take on love makes the song exciting, encouraging the listener to picture an urban cowboy for themself.
The production of this song effortlessly merges country and pop, with banjo riffs backed by contemporary beats and acoustic guitars supporting a high energy vocal that is powerfully hopeful. Catchy melodies, a humming hook, and combination of this classic country instrumentation with more modern production beats show Tucker’s unique vision for her music.
The music video for “Urban Cowboy” is definitely worth checking out, as it effectively heightens the narrative of the song with playful and dreamy visuals. The video opens with a grandmother and granddaughter speaking about the legend of the urban cowboy, and we see the grandmother cast a spell to give her granddaughter dreams of this legend. The rest of the video shows Tucker in the dream sequence, meeting all of these storybook beings (like a leprechaun and a unicorn) on her search for the urban cowboy. During the bridge of the song, we see Tucker twirling with the urban cowboy in a beautiful sunlit field, a perfect visual representation of what the listener expected that “urban cowboy love” to look like. Tucker’s creative vision here adds something special to the track, and makes the listener feel like they could be the one spinning in a field celebrating an urban cowboy love.
