TORRES - "Don't Go Puttin Wishes in My Head"

Photo by Shervin Lainez

We've been on the TORRES bandwagon since 2015, and one of the best parts of the six years of fandom has been watching her grow as an artist. She's been tinkering with her sound this entire time, dancing between a more pop oriented style and a more indie rock one. Her latest single might be her best yet. "Don't Go Puttin Wishes in My Head" is an indie pop epic. It's such a ridiculously huge song that almost borders on being cheesy at times, but that becomes the true charm of the song. It's a pop song, there's no question about that, but it keeps the indie rock vibe TORRES has been channeling all along to satisfy our craving for that as well. This is what is going to propel TORRES to the stardom she's deserved for years now, so if you haven't joined us on the bandwagon yet, now is the time.

Before you think I called the song cheesy as an insult, Mackenzie Scott (aka TORRES) says the song is “... my relentless arena country star moment—my shameless Tim McGraw cheeseball hit.”
