Rowan Murphy may be new to the scene, but she steps into each song with the assured footing of someone who’s been carrying stories in her pocket for a long time.
‘Fault on the Line’ arrives with the softness of something deeply familiar—country-tinged guitar lines, acoustic warmth, the breath of melancholy suspended in a summer dusk—but its weight comes from somewhere else. Somewhere more recent, more intimate.

The production carries a gentle country twang, all restrained guitar bends and open space — a landscape that leaves room for Murphy’s voice to do its work. And it does.
Murphy avoids the temptation to wrap things up neatly. The song explores miscommunication and emotional fault lines — not in grand declarations, but in the small, aching realizations that most people pass over.
SCORE 8/10
If this is where she’s starting, the view ahead looks wide and wild.
