At just 16 years old, North Carolina singer and songwriter Margot Perkinson makes a striking introduction with Something More, a heartfelt country song about wanting a relationship to become something deeper.
There is a timeless quality to the track, with Perkinson drawing from the emotional side of classic country rather than leaning heavily into modern production. The song carries the kind of warmth and sincerity associated with country standards such as Always on My Mind and I Will Always Love You, while still reflecting the perspective of a young songwriter.
What makes the release particularly interesting is that Perkinson wrote the song herself at 16. The writing approaches its subject with an honesty that feels personal rather than overly polished, giving the song a sense of vulnerability that suits its traditional country setting.
Recorded at Castle Studios in Nashville, Something More also places Perkinson within a city deeply connected to the history of country songwriting and recording. The Nashville setting complements the song's classic character and allows the focus to remain on the melody, lyrics and emotional performance.
For a young artist, choosing such a traditional country sound gives Something More a distinctive identity. Instead of trying to follow a passing trend, Perkinson leans into a style built around storytelling and feeling.
Something More is an early glimpse of Margot Perkinson as a songwriter, and its combination of youthful perspective and classic country influences makes the release worth discovering.
