As basic as a lot of her material is, I still genuinely think Alessia has a ton of potential as a Lorde-esque pop star and I’m pretty excited for this, the lyrics sound great.

Fingers crossed it's not some generic pop ballad a la Scars To Your Beautiful or generic EDM a la Stay, I want something more exciting like Here again.

Excited for this. I feel like she has been flying under the radar when it comes to her music, but at the same time quietly collecting top tens on the hot 100, and #1's on pop. I think she has potential to be huge.

Really like that cover, could be iconic if that song itself is a hit.

The cover reminds me of a book cover... wonder if that means anything. Absolutely love it.

The "Impacting Now" marker is put up when songs are scheduled to go for adds in the upcoming week. This song goes for adds next Tuesday and releases on Thursday which is why it has the marker.
When a song is "impacting," it's getting it's initial release to radio.

Out on Spotify for me. It's good BUT it sounds like it's from her last era? Still a bop though.

Which song does it sound like most?
She did say that this era was going to be similar to her last... I really want her to break out of her comfort zone and go in a Lorde style.

Maybe I was just overreacting but I thought the production was really similar to STYB or a low key Overdose. Listening to it more, I don't necessarily think so anymore though. It's a great song, but not really anything different for her.

Heard the leak. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Can hear hints of Scars, I’m Yours, Wild Things, and even her cover of How Far I’ll Go. Yet it somehow still sounds very fresh!

You can tell she stuck with the same crew from her debut because this would easily fit on there. Very reminiscent of Overdose and I'm Yours.

This is like a mix of her whole debut. It's a cute track. It might take me a while to grow to it though.

Very reminiscent of her debut, but I loved her debut so it works The songwriting on this though is definitely a step-up
Here for it and ready for more

Boring. Sounds like the lesser sum of "I'm Yours" and "Wild Things"

Push through Brampton, Ontario finest. This sounds interesting vocally but the song is a continuation of the last album.
Not lead material but would make a fine album cut or down the road single. Having said that she is authentic and something about her voice makes me come back.

A hard pass. If this is what she has in store they can shelf that album already.

This sounds like a ‘Know-It-All’ track with a better production and it’s giving me some The Fault In Our Stars / Love Simon vibes, it would definitely work as a soundtrack.

It's so relatable. I feel like this is such a fall song than a summer one. It's seems like the love child between Wild Things and Scars to Your Beautiful
Strings are my weakness on a song and she had me there in that beat change as it segues to the chorus :jonny:
One complain only, the song feels rather short after the spoken short outro after "No Bandaid's" , so I wished she went out vocally with an octave change and she would turn it up a notch with an emotive vocal delivery but she held back sadly. It left me wanting more!!! Ughh

I echo the sentiments here that this could have fit right in on her debut album. The song is a bit banal. She also has this wordy, clunky style of songwriting that I'm not a big fan of.

I love the sentiment of the song. The song itself is okay, I'll see if I grow to love it after a few more listens.
Not suprised they'd pick a lead single that is reminiscent of her past popular songs since that's a common label strategy.
I'm just glad her persona stayed the same. I was afraid they'd try to sex her up or something.

Very "been there, done that", but I like it anyways. I hope there's a bit more experimentation on the album but as a lead single this is good. Give audiences what they liked the last time.

It's probably not a bad move, imo, to come back and lead with something familiar. Doing something compeltely different sonically on a sophomore album's lead single is risky.
It's difficult to tell what "kind" of an artist Alessia is based off one album and given her age. I don't get the impression that she's a "pop girl" who is going to switch up her sound via trends with each album. She's been willing to put her voice on a DJ hit, but I don't think that's indicative of who she is an artist on her own. I feel like maybe there's an expectation by some for her to follow a standard pop girl template?
Not a direct comparison, but I think of songwriter artists like Tracy Chapman. She has a sound, an identity, a message, and that is her strength. You may hear different influences as the years tick by, but you always know what you're going to get. It's familiar, and that's endearing. It's either your thing, or it's not. Obviously this kind of career doesn't score you consistent big hits, but there's no crash and burn, either.

This has an every hour premiere deal on the iHeart stations.
Love this on first few listens, I think it lived to up to my expectations.
