Impression: Many know Ashley Monroe as the female vocals with Blake Shelton in ‘Lonely Tonight,’ but this time it’s strictly Monroe stealing the show with her latest single, ‘On To Something Good.’ The feel-good country song focuses on the positive vibes and how to face the hard times with a head held high. The bubbly blonde is part of the Pistol Annies, the entertaining threesome made up of Shelton’s wife Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley, but it is Ashley Monroe’s solo songs that make a name for herself.
Many people relate to country music because of the comparison it has to real-life situations, no matter the status of fame. ‘On To Something Good’ is a song fans will be able to relate to because of its steadfast determinism to stay on the right track. The hopeful, upbeat tune will give people a song to turn to with a windows-down, shades-on mentality. ‘On To Something Good’ follows the successful ‘Lonely Tonight,’ but luckily it is the perfect song to do so. There needed to be a strong single to back up the Shelton duet and that is exactly what fans will enjoy. A song that shows it’s okay to be vulnerable, as long as you keep moving, is what country followers have been waiting for and will keep them excited for Monroe’s next release.
