Demo of the Week: “What Gave Me Away”
Writers: Lucie Silvas, Troy Verges, Blair Daly
Vibe: Sultry, smooth, soulful
Key lyrics: “Was it the way that I was stumbling my words when I was trying to speak / Did you know I was in trouble when I ordered up a double and I barely even drank / Was it written on my face / What gave me away”
Could be a good fit for: Bonnie Bishop, Maren Morris, Billy Currington, Vince Gill, Miranda Lambert, and of course Silvas herself
X factor: Feels classic and timeless – could be an old Etta James record or 2016’s next head-turner. Highly relatable lyrically.
