Artist Emily Alice’s “The Wallflower” provides an almost spiritual healing experience set in the arms of a loving partner. The song floats on airy notes and acoustic strings, rejuvenating the soul with its soft and warm tones. A sweet serenade and a thank you message, “The Wallflower” overflows with love and adoration. Emily Alice gently lulls her listeners into a place of comfort and warmth, as the song describes an introvert's first encounter with love and the experience of trusting one with your inner self. The song is weightless and freeing, as Alice marks with the chorus line, “Your all I can see / The wallflower is free.” With its ambient glow and heavenly atmosphere, the track is a cathartic, soothing, and uplifting experience. In her message to her comforter, Alice describes her partner as an embodiment of healing and one that makes time a construct. “Time stands perfectly still / Life without you doesn't feel real,” she sings.
Perfect for easy listening, “The Wallflower,” is delicate and natural-sounding, untouched by studio alterations or heavy instruments and computerized manipulations. The track is clean and fresh, earthy with traces of folky underlining. Rawly authentic and happily unembellished, “The Wallpaper” sounds magical with its delicate makings and weightless voice. The song's atmosphere provides a surreal feeling as Alice’s lyrics are not overly done or follow a strict lyrical setup. Pleasantly simple, the song keeps a smooth harmony with Alice's lovely voice gently moving over the soft acoustic melody. The effervescent melody channels Colbie Caillat’s music in its bright and nostalgic tone. Likewise, the tranquil melody elicits images of youth and innocence. In its simplicity, along with lyrics of love and admiration, “The Wallpaper” is an inner awakening, set in its world of two closely connected and bonded souls.
“The Wallflower” comes after the release of Emily Alice’s previous 2024 singles “Us Girls” and "Not For Me,” a pair of sweet acoustic-pop tunes. In 2022, Emily Alice made her debut with the lovely “Ice Blue,” an emotional acoustic ballad. Afterward, she released two singles in 2023: “Stronger” and “In The Moment." A 21-year-old singer-songwriter, Alice has been playing guitar for over 13 years and strives to create music that cohesively blends lyrics and melodies. She aims to achieve an interactive sound that evokes certain emotions and represents specific experiences. This is demonstrated in the makings of “The Wallflower” as Alice describes the song as capturing “the moment an introvert falls in love” which is found in “the progression from soft instrumentals to intricate layered acoustic textures.” The excitement and warmth can be acutely felt within her heartfelt ballad as Alice paints a loving picture through her writing and heavenly melodies. With more to come on the horizon, Emily Alice continues to craft music that resonates with our souls and deeply connects with her listeners. Check out Emily Alice’s “The Wallflower” below!
