Karen Lee Batten - Somewhere in Between [Music Review] April 09, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Country, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “This is a tricky review for me. I do hear and appreciate the talent, though my personal Country tastes lean more toward the Outlaw and Americana sound, rather than the more Commercial Mainstream cranked out by Nashville. This track however falls in between with a sound that harkens to the 90’s brand of Country Music rarely heard among the Pop heavy and bro-country stars of today. All that said, Karen Lee Batten clearly has the talent to deliver an emotionally laden song and this single, ‘Somewhere In Between’ does the job she intends. Fans of of the retro 90s sound will appreciate this track, and who knows maybe Batten can help lead Country music back to a better place.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
