Katherine St Asaph: If this were 1996, “Mayday” would be by Jewel and on mainstream radio now it’s on country radio, the last home of the whole genre. Enlisting the elements in service of your emotional travails is a well-worn route for a reason, but unless it pays off with a bout of crashing catharsis, what’s the point? “Mayday” levels off about one minute in, making the impending doom and drama seem little more than a false alarm. She sets out with an arresting couplet – “You are overbearing I’m not in love/But I don’t wanna tell you” – and as the toms roll in, it sounds like she might stir up a storm worth all the shipwreck imagery. Jonathan Bradley: After “Burning House,” Cam moves to the next crisis. The greatest irony of a song called “Mayday” is that it sounds like there is no emergency at all.

Chalk it up as good-not-great and check out the album.Ĭrystal Leww: Who is picking Cam’s singles? Half of her album feels fresh and full of life and the other half of the album feels like Cam was kinda sleepy when she recorded it. “Mayday” is a bit too understated for its own good, though, walking in place where it should run. Much of the album rocks an emphatically ‘80s country vibe akin to Rosanne Cash and Juice Newton at their hitmaking peaks. Thomas Inskeep: It’s a cute trick to go from “Burning House” to a song about a sinking ship, but unfortunately “Mayday” is one of the weaker tracks on Cam’s superb Untamed, which was my favorite country album of 2015 (in spite of its December release).
