On the heels of releasing her EP Daddy Issues earlier this year, Kady Z (real name Kady Zadora) returns with a new song called "Revenge." The haunting track is featured on a brand new EP called Defenseless and blends elements of country, bluegrass and Americana.

"Revenge" starts with delicate percussion and Kady's ethereal vocals, which brings a distinct mystique to the song. The striking ballad has the singer looking for revenge with her hand on a loaded gun. For four minutes, Kady Z captivates the listener with her vivid tale. But will she get revenge?

"The hour glass turned upside down / Better hurry up before it runs out / In a jacket pocket made of twill / Five minutes late will get you killed," she sings slowly.

"'Revenge' is about the kind of hurt that keeps you up at night; playing out scenarios to try and find peace of mind and not taking the high road when you've been wronged," Kady Z tells Taste of Country.

Kady Z's whispered singing style enchants, and the delicate musical accompaniment only adds to the song's suspense. "I want revenge," she sings repeatedly throughout the chorus. With soaring string accompaniment, thumping percussion and wavering guitar parts, she acutely gets her point across.

Kady Z wrote "Revenge" with ToneDef, and it's just a taste of what's to come from her new music. The singer-songwriter — who currently splits her time between Los Angeles and Nashville — has previously seen traction with her pop single "Beautiful Disaster" which reached No. 53 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. While a moderate success, Kady Z's country songs showcase her vulnerable vocals and ability as a captivating songwriter.

Kady Z's "Revenge" Lyrics:

Clock strikes 12 with a 45 / Another dead, another goodbye / Small hand moves towards the one / The other hand's on a loaded gun

And I want revenge / Yeah I want revenge

The hour glass turned upside down / Better hurry up before it runs out / In a jacket pocket made of twill / Five minutes late will get you killed

And I want revenge / Yeah I want revenge

I'll wait for the day / The look on yer face / A fight til the bitter end / Yeah I want revenge

Daylight won’t save you now / The crow, the rooster / The sweat of your brow / Father Time’s not on your side / Or the cards of the fortune teller that lies

And I want revenge / Yeah I want revenge / I want revenge / Yeah I want revenge

I'll wait for the day / The look on yer face / A fight til the bitter end / Yeah I want revenge
