ALYCE is kicking off her lover girl era with badass, bitchin' bangs. Her new single, “Pick Me,” the first taste of her forthcoming EP, Kennedy, is a shining pop declaration, one that recasts vulnerability as strength and authenticity as the ultimate flex.
Written with Skylar Wilson and Jaan Harrison Kohm, “Pick Me” shrouds its soul-baring lyrics in sparkling flirtation that almost challenges you not to dance. The beat is light and self-assured, crafted for those windows-down drives and unapologetic sing-alongs. But underneath the catchy hooks is a deeper message, one about standing your ground in your worth, and not allowing haters to dim that light.
“‘Pick Me’ is for all my lover girls,” ALYCE says. “Don’t let someone tell you that their life is too small to love your big, amazing heart and keep choosing to live in truth and grace.” That message is like a mantra, sewn into each note and phrase with much in the way of unapologetic emotion.
ALYCE’s voice has a raw sweetness to it that grounds the track, even as it goes dancing off into glittery pop terrain. Her voice is warm, but imperious, a fitting match energy-wise for the song that will not shrink to fit anyone’s comfort. As the lead single from Kennedy, “Pick Me” is an encouraging preview of things to come. It proposes a project that embodies love in all its messy, magnetic splendor.
It also firmly establishes ALYCE as one to watch in the world of up-and-coming pop storytellers, especially for listeners seeking music that combines honesty, heart, and a whole lot of fun. With ‘Pick Me,’ ALYCE is asking not only for you to listen, but also for you to feel her. And you will.
