Being in love is a wonderful life experience that almost everyone gets the chance to be a part of. There is so much that comes from love like amazing memories and maybe even a lifelong partner that’s also your best friend. When you love someone so much it can often feel like the other doesn’t feel the same way. All of these new feelings come into action and it’s hard to understand why you are still there. Being in love doesn’t mean you can’t fight or have disagreements. It doesn’t mean you can’t unapologetically be yourself even when your true self is hard to understand. Alas de Liona’s single “19.3” reminds us that love is unmeasured and although there may be hard times, the happily ever after is always worth it.
“19.3” starts off with a familiar and lovely tone which immediately flows right into her emotive lyrics. The words were so catchy and gave off this feeling of hope and promise to never give up. I loved the lyrics as they were really honest and relatable with lines like “you’d be right to say I can’t qualify my feelings.” While the song started off slow and gentle like a love story it quickly shifted to an upbeat mood fast. The change in rhythm caught my attention quickly as it made for the perfect dance around song. But it’s also a track that makes you feel every emotion possible. I almost immediately added this song to my feel-good vibe playlist.
Alas de Liona is a singer/songwriter from the Mojave Desert in California. She released her first album in 2017 titled “Lightning and Fire” which included 11 tracks. During her last year of attending higher education in Edinburgh, Scotland is when she found her musical career starting. Since the year following the pandemic, she created and released several singles and EP’s that conveyed raw moments in life. Her latest release “19.3” is such a poetic and feel-good track which comes from her recent album release. On September 13, 2024, she released “Gravity of Gold” an album consisting of 11 soul stirring songs. I highly recommend giving her a listen as you may just find your new favorite indie pop artist!
