If you’re given the opportunity to sing in front of President Obama, you’re talented. There’s very little to analyze there. This past spring, Adina had that very honor as she sang “Star-Spangled Banner” for the President when he visited Jerusalem. Adina was an appropriate pick for this task as she has both Israeli and American background. Having been trained in New York City and now serving as a vocal instructor at Tel-Aviv He College of Music, Adina has put in the time to perfect her voice. She exhibits that skill in her new track “Just a Girl.”
Just as she did with her rendition of “Star-Spangled Banner,” Adina shows great range and fortitude in “Just a Girl.” From quiet verses, yelling choruses, and tricky key changes, Adina hits her marks perfectly. Her bright and cheery voice matches the song’s subject: an optimistic story about a girl overcoming obstacles and discouragement through maturity.
I praise Adina’s skill and positive energy. However, the song itself didn’t really jump out at me. The pop country production was a little generic and reminded me of a 90’s Faith Hill single. While that style has worked for a lot of people, it just feels safe and unadventurous now (no matter how good the singer is). For Adina’s next song, I’d hope that the musical arrangement is a little more interesting. She’s got the talent, now her music just needs the intrigue.
