Review By Glen Parkes
With their debut album Bound To Break just weeks away, UK country trailblazers First Time Flyers have delivered a confident statement in the form of their new single, Primadonna. Already a crowd favourite at their live shows, the track lands with the swagger of a festival anthem and the bite of a cleverly observed character study.
The song’s narrative was sparked by an encounter within the music industry—proof that inspiration can strike in the most unexpected places. Yet rather than pointing fingers, Primadonna cleverly flips the lens, reminding us that, deep down, we all carry a little bit of that larger-than-life, ego-driven persona. The result is a song that balances humour and honesty without losing its radio-ready shine.
Musically, Primadonna embodies everything that has made First Time Flyers one of the UK’s most exciting new country outfits. The band’s signature blend of sharp hooks, layered harmonies, and undeniable energy comes through in full force. Each member brings something distinct to the table—yet together, their chemistry makes the song feel both effortless and electric.
Released to coincide with their triple appearance at this year’s Long Road Festival, Primadonna feels tailor-made for festival stages, where its cheeky lyrics and infectious chorus can thrive. It’s playful, it’s polished, and above all, it’s proof that this band knows exactly how to capture both hearts and attention. If this single is any indication, Bound To Break is set to make a serious impact when it arrives in September.
