Alice Ray - 'For and Against'


London based singer-songwriter Alice Ray shares stunning new single ‘For and Against’.

With the punch-in-the-gut feeling of really good musical theatre, ‘For and Against’ is impressively emotive. Every line tells a story with such conviction it becomes increasingly more difficult to walk away, you have to listen and then listen some more until you might as well keep the song on loop for the next few days. Each element is crafted with care and consideration. Soaring vocals tinged with a soft air of melodrama give life to Alice Ray’s outstanding lyricism while rhythmic drums and subtle guitar lines give the song a more contemporary feel. 

Talking about ‘For and Against’, Alice explains: “Being an adult is both scary and liberating. Often as children we're told what we can and can't do and what we want seems so clear. But as we grow up, the question of 'what do YOU want?' can be a question met with a deafening silence. 'For and Against' is a song about growing up and growing apart from someone, how heart breaking it can be and the desire to overcome the noise and anxiety and to hear your own voice.”
