“Country Couture” by Cali Tucker is a captivating country track that uses catchy pop melodies and a dynamic arrangement to welcome the listener into the playful narrative of the song. In this track, Tucker blends her taste for extravagance with her country roots, singing about how even though she loves fancy things, she’ll never forget where she came from. It’s a fun track at first glance, but also carries a deeper, anthemic tone that inspires all of us to stay true to ourselves and remember how to be our most authentic selves.
The track opens with finger-picked acoustic guitar, then brings in a steady beat behind Tucker’s inviting vocals, which offer a strong performance from start to finish. Lyrics like “they call me bootscooting Barbie” and “being bougie wasn’t my intent, but I’ll take it as a compliment” give a layer of comedy to the track, while other lines such as “it’s all just for show” and “I’m still the same as I was” weave Tucker’s true self into the fabric of the track.
“Country Couture” has a cinematic and exciting music video that goes along with it, featuring Tucker dancing in clubs and across the desert, giving us a look into both of her identities. She rides in a bright pink pickup truck, merging her country roots with her flair for drama, and parties in both her classic Levi’s and fancy outfits. Tucker allows her two aesthetics to exist at the same time, singing “on my high horse and high heels,” but “deep down,” she knows she’ll always be country couture.
