Sarah Burton continues to ride high in 2024 with a brilliant collection of Americana roots music from her Swoonville USA album. Now the Ottawa, Ontario-born, Toronto and Texas-based singer-songwriter is back with one of the year's better double A-side releases in "Sorry" and "Oklahoma." Although both are different in terms of structure, style, and sound, the quality and musicianship is something to be envied by anyone who appreciates great, infectious music.

"Sorry" is a reflective, contemplative nugget Burton says speaks to acknowledging past mistakes that could run the gamut from little white lies to something far more significant. It's a universal emotion that causes people to relive those miscues and criticize themselves for what they did at the time. And it's something Burton admits to.

Sorry:

Ottawa-born, Austin-based roots singer-songwriter Sarah Burton addresses the often-awkward question some women who have yet to tie the knot are often asked with the earnest, mesmerizing single "Worth Sticking Around For" off her forthcoming album Swoonville USA. It's a track whose first half is great thanks to Burton's lyrics describing the conundrum of not settling for second best but hoping her other half realizes just what they have in her. Meanwhile, the song's second half is a delectable swampy roots-based instrumental romp that could go on and on.
