Following up from her previous effort ‘Here I am Now’, Brooklyn-based songstress Alayisha has recently returned with a new offering, a slice of soulful goodness and inspired lyricism that’s hard to ignore. ‘She’s Not Perfect’ is exactly that; built on an elegant, slow-paced, ballad-driven livery, the record benefits from Alayisha’s evocative, introspective vocals, here delivered with a truly nuanced tone. It’s all pretty lush, with the American creative capable of manifesting her artistry into a thousand hazy harmonies.
The result is a listening experience that’s hypnotising and unforgettable, a wonderful musical nugget drenched in vulnerable and honest lyricism, the perfect match for the song’s expressive attitude. As Alayisha explains: “This song is for those people who would rather cry in front of strangers rather than the people they’re closest to. It’s about someone who feels like they have to keep everything together even though they are tired of pretending everything is okay.”
Produced with her boyfriend Langston, ‘She’s Not Perfect’ is certainly a DIY episode, with the talented pair fully focusing on a sonic direction that feels familiar, yet also unique and specific. Citing the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lianne La Havas and Corinne Bailey Rae as her main inspirations, Alayisha appears fully set for a bright future; we’ll be here supporting her.
