Alice Geary's latest track, This Time, is giving big Maisie Peters vibes thanks to its narrative-driven lyrics and a highly relatable aesthetic of strife-laden romanticism. There is a melancholy beauty attached to this song; highlighted by vulnerable lines like "hold you a little longer, how can you breathe when I'm holding you so tightly" – painting the picture of someone utterly in love with their partner and unafraid to show it. Alice explains that her motivation for This Time stems from her "first queer relationship, and the heartfelt hope that [she], in all honesty, [wouldn't] mess it up" as she truly wanted to "get it right this time". Simply put, this is the type of single any hopeless romantic out there can put on and instantly empathize with from start to finish.
This Time blends synth pop with elements of rock and pop punk to create an intoxicating single for listeners to enjoy during the sweltering tail end of summer. The melodic continuity of the track's synth pads creates a dreamy atmosphere that is artistically paralleled by the earlier electric guitar tones that brought a bit of a tasteful edge. The bridge introduces an acoustic guitar riff which serves as a stark contrast to the distorted electric guitar tones previously heard in this ditty. There are upbeat indie pop drums rhythmically keeping the energy going as the tune progresses, making this single a hard one to take off repeat.
A graduate of BIMM Music Institute, singer-songwriter Alice Geary is a "former EDM topliner turned pop girl" who is currently taking off with her infectiously fun style of music. Unfamiliar with her sound? She is the same girl who kicked off the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup by singing the opening song on the BBC – so yeah, that Alice Geary. A proud ally and member of the LGBTQ+ community, Alice hopes to use her brand of music to connect with fellow allies and anyone currently navigating their own personal identities. Her goal is to be a source of support for her audience by giving the feel of a "best friend" who is lending guidance via her lyricism. Be sure to keep an eye out for the release of the remainder of her EP Have I Said Too Much?, which is set to drop sometime in the near future.
