Elise Harper’s “Bartender Therapy” is a touching pop-country track that expresses a sentiment a great proportion of her listeners will understand. The desire to reach out and have human interactions is part of life. Elise’s vocals are great here, both establishing a narrative and bolstering in the backing instrumentation. The presence of lap steel and deliberate drums in this track tie Bartender Therapy into the larger country and western tradition. We’re excited to hear more from Elise in the months and years to come, as her skill is such that she’ll be able to accomplish whatever she sets out to achieve in the follow-ups to this single.
