After having a blast as one of Lewis Capaldi’s supporting acts at BST Hyde Park last weekend, rising star Alessi Rose releases yet another bittersweet single, getting us into our complicated feelings with ‘Dependent‘.
Following on from another soul-stirring track, ‘Skin‘, Alessi continues to sing with honesty, passion and heartbreak about loving someone who is becoming a complicated partner in your relationship, wondering whether it is love or just a situationship waiting for a crash.
The talented rising singer-songwriter has a way of crafting lyrics that explore the various perspectives on falling in love and breakups, and communicate the experience we have all encountered once or twice in a lifetime: building up the courage to pour all your feelings out to someone you have a crush on. Alessi’s new single ‘Dependent‘ is a resonant song that anyone can relate to.
From the acoustic alternative pop midtempo music production with the help of Josh Scarbrow, you can hear, just from the sound of the quick strums of the guitar, the rushed nervousness and anxieties surrounding the song, with that energy of butterflies in your stomach and trying to prevent the fear of not saying how you feel. With the strong collection of music Alessi has so far, she becomes a growing inspiration for any young person out there who needs the confidence to admit their inner romantic feelings for someone. Her songs are relevant to the young generation of today, describing the realities of modern dating and how tough it can be.
“When I love someone it often feels like it’s life or death; like one wrong move and everything comes crashing down as if they are the single domino holding up every little piece of my life, and to have them fall would be catastrophe. I wrote this song at a point where I felt like I needed to be acting against my dependence. I wanted to isolate from everyone that holds me up just to prove that I could do it and be as independent as possible just to say that I am, even if it directly opposed what I wanted and needed at that moment.”
