New Music Release: Devil In Blue

After the anthemic Southern Rock energy of her previous single We Ain’t Getting Outta Here Alive, Sarah Riches shifts gears with effortless style, transporting us straight to a hot and dusty Tennessee honky tonk in her latest release, Devil In Blue.

In this evocative track, Riches spins the tale of a whirlwind encounter with a smooth-talking cowboy who sweeps her off her feet—only for her to eventually see through the cigar smoke and charm. She may have lost her head for a moment, but in true country fashion, she finds her footing and shows that “hell-for-leather devil in blue” the door.

While the theme is a timeless country classic, Devil In Blue feels anything but dated. In today’s modern world of dating apps and red flags, the allure of a sweet-talking heartbreaker still hits hard—especially when backed by a sound this solid.

The single features Sarah’s stellar band, The Dreamcatchers, delivering rich musicianship and tight instrumentation throughout. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Inspire Music, the track once again showcases Riches’ vocal power and storytelling versatility.

Following the sonic contrast between her first two releases of 2025, fans are left wondering: what surprising direction will she take next come Autumn?
