Alicia Blue delivers confident indie, inflected with americana influences on effortlessly cool single, ‘Star Maps’.
Alicia Blue draws on strong singer-songwriter sensibilities and self-awareness in a way that brings to mind the likes of Alanis Morisette and Ani Difranco. ‘Star Maps’ is driven by conversational lyrics and a textured guitar melody that is minimal yet wholly affecting.
Percussion with a real upbeat kick is soon introduced seeing the track flesh out with determination. This adds a crunchy anchor to juxtapose the twangs of americana that blissfully flitter in and out of the song which serve to support Blue’s soaring, emotive vocal on the poppy chorus.
’Star Maps’ is a wholesome and earthy song with an alt edge that gets more enjoyable on every listen.
