It’s OK not to feel OK. That is the message of ‘I’m not alright’, the powerful and evocative new single from Mumbai-based singer/songwriter Shriya. A piano-driven pop ballad at its core, ‘I’m not alright’ features sombre yet calming melodies, haunting strings, and raw, confessional lyrics.
Inviting us into her world of mental health and general life struggles, Shriya’s deeply personal new offering is vulnerable yet passionate, drawing us in with a gentle reminder that we’re not alone in our struggles. “It’s a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt alone in their battles,” she says.
At just eighteen years old, Shriya is already beginning to make quite a name for herself. Signed to DayOne, Sony Music’s sublabel, and with hundreds of thousands of Spotify plays, she’s capturing listeners’ attention with a maturity and depth that belie her age.
A masterfully poignant and inescapably beautiful track, ‘I’m not alright’ is a song Shriya can proudly add to her ever-growing discography. She’s also promised us a new EP sometime this year, and as the calendar winds down, it’s hopefully just around the corner!
