Setting the tone with rolling drums and strummed guitar, which expands into electric with bolder percussion, we are already hypnotized by Certain‘s latest release, It’s Alright, which also features vocals from Amara Latchford.
Opening with the vulnerable lyrics, “Tripping over, always trying to hide, forever running from what’s inside”, It’s Alright goes on to tell the story of how we can struggle to communicate with each other, but with an optimistic edge.
We love the hook as Amara sings, “If there’s someone for me, there will be someone for you, if I can find the one, you’re gonna find them too, and if there’s someone for me, then there’ll be someone for you, It’s Alright…”, which gives us hope!
Speaking on the intention of the track, Certain say, “It’s Alright is a rallying call to anyone who ever feels like an outsider, a misfit or even a bad dancer…”, but the overall message is clear that love is possible for all of us.
The release of It’s Alright follows the band approaching 100k streams from their first two releases on Spotify. The song is accompanied by an animated video by Dan Crew which is due for release soon.
In the meantime, you can watch the videos for Sunshine (Down to the Soles of my Shoes) and Whatever I Do below!
