New Single Out Now

"With arrangements that blend electric, acoustic, and electronic elements, the track has a ballad-style feel, but with very well-balanced melodies. An electronic beat mixed with organic elements sets the rhythm, while the acoustic guitar intertwines with the keyboards, and a slide guitar complements everything in the background."

"Michael Allen builds his new single entirely around that exhaustion, and the title alone, rendered in its clipped, colloquial contraction, captures something genuinely accurate about how regret actually sounds inside someone’s head, not eloquent or poetic but repetitive and worn down through overuse. "

"Musically, “Should’a Would’a Could’a” thrives on subtle contrasts. Sparkling melodies soften the heavier emotional themes, while the steady groove keeps the song moving forward even as its narrator remains mentally anchored to the past."

 "Should’a Would’a Could’a isn’t trying to make you feel better by the end, and that’s exactly what makes it stick. Michael Allen trusts the discomfort of the subject matter enough to leave it unresolved, and that kind of patience is rare in songwriting built around a feeling this universal. This is one for anyone who wants their Americana to actually sit in the hard stuff instead of rushing past it.
