Mallory Warman’s debut single Part Time Man is a strong vintage cut dipped in the golden syrup of classic country, with just enough modern pop glaze to give it a contemporary sheen.
Right off the bat, the production screams sepia-tone nostalgia. We’re talking warm acoustic strums, slow-burn pedal steel, and vocal layering that’s more Patsy Cline than Taylor Swift. Everything feels like it’s coming out of a jukebox in a dive bar that serves whiskey in chipped glasses — not a Spotify playlist on shuffle.

And then there’s her — Mallory Warman. The voice is the main event here. It’s camp with restraint. The kind of delivery where you can tell the artist knows exactly what she’s doing. There’s a wink in every phrase, a slight shoulder roll behind every line. She’s playing a character, but she never loses control of the narrative.
SCORE: 7/10
A promising first chapter — not a revolution, but a damn well-written prologue.
