Synth-pop indie gem ALEXIS brings a catchy new jam this month, blending a stylish retro bass-line and summer-style click groove, with a hugely upbeat chorus and uniquely snappy, catchy verses.
Hate It Here is a well-rounded and well-written pop song, utilising contrast perfectly well, from these introspective verses through to the brightness and infectious energy of the hook. It’s a fresh addition to the ALEXIS repertoire, and is both alternative and accessible in its vulnerability and classic, contemporary set-up.
Completing the approach with an eighties-esque production tone and a fine fusion of metaphor and personal anecdote, Hate It Here counters the scorn of its implied topic, with an unignorably addictive drop into the resounding earworm of its title-line. The single makes for a quickly satisfying and unmistakable new addition to the autumn pop playlists.
