I feel like her voice works a lot better with synth pop or soft folksier tracks, songs like this make me really notice how thin and weak her voice is. When I hear country songs with this type of arrangement, my brain wants it to have a real belter on it.

Sierra Ferrell can actually sing and is in a ton of genres except for pop (unless it's a collab), like Americana, y'allternative, country, folk, bluegrass, etc.

She would have killed this.. Evidence -

I don't think her voice is thin at all when she dips into her beautiful lower register

I would definitely consider this a thin/throaty and breathy tone, just with a lowered larynx. Nothing wrong with that, it works great with certain music! But in this setting and this arrangement, I fear the music kinda swallows her voice up (not in volume, but tonally). As far as country goes, I feel like a more Dolly-esque arrangement would sound great for her! But this new track almost sounds like Carrie Underwood-esque (uh minus the lesbianism LOLLL).

ETA: It's also worth nothing she may just be experiencing some vocal fatigue cuz I watched the SNL Pink Pony Club just now and noticed her voice sounded much less strong than in other performances I've seen!

I don't know that I agree that her voice is thin and weak, but I think she doesn't suit this country style singing as much. I could also be biased because I don't really care for most country music outside of Rhiannon Giddens and The Secret Sisters (and they're more on the folk spectrum), so this kind of yeehaw pop isn't up my alley (though I'm happy for the sake of all the yeehaw wlw fans).
