And so can her signature pedal steel guitar. Yet, with a song such as this – one with so much contrast, from bare guitar-driven opening lines to crashing cymbals and piano flourishes – it’s been proven that her voice and lyrics can withstand any sonic treatment.
Webster’s vocal delivery on this track, much like many others she’s released, is simultaneously polished and raw. It’s minimal when it needs to be, punchy where necessary, and all around a masterful representation of forbidden reacquaintance with a past lover. “But Not Kiss” is self-aware, confessional, and vague enough that anybody and everybody could listen to it and either laugh or cry, depending on the circumstances. In her latest single since last spring’s Car Therapy Sessions EP, Faye Webster grapples with desire and self-restraint.
