Review: "Red Flag" - Janet Devlin


Red Flag Janet Devlin Alt Cover

In her newest single, "Red Flag," Janet Devlin manifests her dream man. She describes having an all-around good guy; he goes to church, wants a family, doesn't smoke, and only has one flaw: he loves his woman even at her most crazy. Janet's country-pop mashup is about acting like a walking red flag and finding the one who loves you regardless. Janet's personality infuses the track with such vigor. Her insanely relatable lyricism is equal parts irreverent and honest, and the chorus is an instant earworm. It's just a delightful listen all around. A reminder to embrace your flaws because the person meant for you will love them even more than your strengths.





Janet manages an incredible balancing act on "Red Flag." On the upbeat and occasionally tongue-in-cheek track, she shows a vulnerable and emotionally honest side to herself. The lyrics, co-written by Kaity Rae and Ben Earles of The Shires fame, are candid depictions of what it is like to deal with emotional irregularity. "I cry on the phone and I don't make it easy" are admirably open admissions from the artist. This track, as well as her upcoming album, Emotional Rodeo, deals with the ups and downs that come from mental health issues. "Red Flag" spins its titular term from the usual insult into the empowering message that no matter what all deserve--and will receive love. Janet's newest single will have you wave your red flags with pride.
