One of the most moving singles to emerge this side of 2024, Alas de Liona blends the warmth of simple trip hop production with the sheer soulful depth of a voice that’s both intimate and desperately searching for something.
Vine Song is simple melodically, building up through a colourful pop soundscape that’s increasingly uplifting, but in both lyric and performance the song cleverly captivates and effectively creates a lane of its own.
Essentially addressing the topic of loving the idea or illusion of someone (or something), Vine Song is a complex lyrical venture that’s melodically alluring and somehow feels like it was written purely for the listener. It’s a personal connection wrapped in a strong groove and smooth melody, and these vague poetic references are unclear and not easy to decipher, but even so, the way they’re sung, the intimacy of certain observations and references, all feels profoundly relatable.
That’s a rare quality, and it’s presented as a beautifully hypnotic single. There’s a timeless appeal to the metaphorical vastness and style of Vine Song, and it’s definitely one worth your time this season.
