Jenna DeVries and Adam Mac partner to add a sexy western spin to the hit pop song sweeping the nation. Originally sung by Sam Smith and Kim Petras, "Unholy" blew up on TikTok, garnering over 2.5 million videos using the song. The original song consists of electronic beats and standard pop vocals to create a catchy tune. Jenna DeVries and Adam Mac turn it on its head with an edgy alternative country sound to bring their queer, larger-than-life personalities to the forefront. You can listen to it here.

A beautiful intro on the piano starts the song off in a sultry way, but it quickly adds dimension through layered tracks. The vocals have an increased rasp compared to the original, but it adds the perfect amount of spice to the tone of the song. The slower tempo comes off as more secretive and seductive, as the flawless harmonies between Adam and Jenna in the chorus are almost taunting. DeVries takes on the role of the husband's lover, singing with a sweet and sultry tone. Her rich tone in the chorus lulls the listener deeper into the dark web being spun. The addition of Adam Mac's incredible vocals and ambiance make the pair an unstoppable force.
