We are late to the party on this record, but honestly, ‘Within A Circle’ deserves our (and your) attention regardless of time constraints. Penned by Brighton-based upcomer ALY, the track is an alluring, evocative slice of 90s guitar-powered extravaganza, here delivered with charisma and a nuanced pop flair. The result is an irresistible piece which feels fierce and nostalgic, but also elegant and nuanced.
ALY’s vocals crown the record perfectly, here showcasing all their malleable character and impressive quirkiness, while commanding the listeners’ attention from start to finish. The chorus is certainly catchy, giving off a polite grunge vibe while keeping it friendly and relatable.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Within A Circle’, the talented songstress explains: “The track explores themes of being a people-pleaser, always prioritising other people first. It’s a song about how your brain forces you to constantly compare your very own path to everybody else’s and judges you for it”.
