Throughout the album, Janet reveals not just her vocal skills, but also her feelings and passion for performing. &#8220;Daddy,&#8221; possibly the most popular song on the album, is a highlight. It has 60s-style electric guitars and a sophisticated pop production. The concentration on uplifting vocal melodies creates a groovy, pleasant atmosphere while the modern, clean mix provides an ethereal and mystical layer that allows the guitars to go along with rather than dominate the vocal performance. The album&#8217;s bluesy guitars also add to the nostalgia, but their placement in the mix seems fresh and contemporary, making them part of a groovy adventure rather than a vintage throwback. Songs like &#8220;Best in You,&#8221; an almost acoustic ballad, reveal Janet&#8217;s poetic honesty. The gentle double vocal layering enhance the song&#8217;s hazy vibe and show how to create isolated, true musical\u00a0moments. The album&#8217;s final two acoustic live tracks give a pleasant folk touch, while the electric elements fade into the background. This change gives the finale an air of warmth, sweet sorrow, and openness, bringing the record to a calm and spiritually fulfilling close. Overall, Not My First Emotional Rodeo combines modern pop intelligence with old Americana style to create an interesting, atmospheric, and spiritually charged listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Not My First Emotional Rodeo (Deluxe)\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5Sq35GVxpr2cxYp6jFJJB1?si=T6Ep0ys_RfGlaMVK61QS6g&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdevlin.com\">https:\/\/www.janetdevlin.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thejanetdevlin\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thejanetdevlin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/janetdevlinofficial\/?hl=en\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/janetdevlinofficial\/?hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Janet Devlin&#8217;s Not My First Emotional Rodeo is a 22-track album\u00a0featuring two live acoustic performances&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[697,4547,4816],"class_list":["post-28960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-country","tag-country-pop","tag-janet-devlin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28960"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28964,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28960\/revisions\/28964"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
