Review: Jacquie Roar’s Free-Spirited Anthem ‘That’s the Spirit’ Celebrates Living in the Moment

Country rocker and The Voice Season 24 finalist Jacquie Roar has just released her latest anthem, “That’s the Spirit,” and it’s a high-octane celebration that’ll make you want to turn the music up and roll the windows down. With a fierce spirit and no-holds-barred point of view, this track is made for tailgates, bonfires, and unforgettable nights out.

Co-written with hitmakers Bobby Tomberlin and Curt Gibbs, “That’s the Spirit” is pure country fun, with fiery vocals and an irresistible energy that sets it apart as an instant crowd-pleaser. The song’s rebellious lyrics, such as “Don’t you dare put that tailgate up / Let that moonshine in your solo cup,” embody Jacquie’s carefree, live-in-the-moment attitude that makes this track impossible to ignore.

Jacquie describes the track as “the ultimate summer bop for when you have the music up and windows down. The sun is out, and you are the party. Now THAT is the spirit!” She’s absolutely right; "That’s the Spirit” is the perfect soundtrack for a day full of sunshine, laughter, and freedom.

Jacquie’s high-energy approach to country music shares similarities with some of the biggest names in the genre today. Much like Maren Morris, who has built a career on blending country with a contemporary, genre-defying sound, Jacquie exudes confidence and flair in every note. Both artists craft songs that are both fun and deeply relatable, using bold, anthemic lyrics that encourage listeners to live in the moment. In “That’s the Spirit,” Jacquie taps into the same carefree, rebellious energy found in Maren’s “My Church” or “Rich.”

With nearly 500K streams of her previous hits like “Bad Habit,” “Learn About Love,” and “Pass the Pain,” Jacquie Roar continues to prove that she’s one of country music’s most exciting up-and-coming artists. With this track, Jacquie has solidified her place as a force to be reckoned with in the country scene. “That’s the Spirit” is a perfect mix of rebellious energy, catchy lyrics, and a whole lot of heart. You’ll want to add this one to your playlist and turn it up as loud as you can.
