Distorted guitars and vulnerable lyrics
Wallice, the American singer-songwriter, is gearing up to release a new EP, Mr. Big Shot. She explores her indie and alternative vibes on this album with six tracks that allow listeners to see the world through her eyes. She uses electric guitars and percussion to keep the energy high while she explores her most vulnerable thoughts and feelings through storytelling lyrics.
The EP starts out with mellow vibes with “Best Friend.” She sings about a best-friend breakup. It is a tragic story that many listeners will relate to. The track explores the different emotions that come with this situation, such as heartbreak, grief and anger. She explores these feelings through different sounds throughout the song as the verses are more mellow with acoustic guitars and lyrics that paint melancholic pictures. In contrast, the chorus explores feelings of anger and resentment with distorted guitars and emotion-filled vocals.
The next track, “Loser at Best,” is a groovy track. Behind her vocals in verse are groovy guitar licks that fade out before electric guitars, and the full band comes in for a high-energy chorus. She sings about wanting to be with someone who only thinks of her as a friend. It tells a specific and tragically honest story. This is a fun track, with rocker-esque production mixed with pop vibes to create a fun, upbeat track.
“Quarterlife” is the third track on the album. It explores the anxiety that comes along with getting older and new experiences. She tells the story in a personal and eloquent manner that reveals her feelings about her lifestyle and past in a vulnerable way. The feelings of anxiety are supported by the rhythmic production, distorted guitars and monotone singing.
The fifth track, “Why Do You Love Me,” is another vulnerable track. She tells the story of a relationship that she is self-sabotaging and questions why this person is with her. It is a very honest and introspective track. Behind these vocals lies intriguing production with fun rhythms and upbeat guitars.
The final track of the EP is “disappear.” Sticking to her style, the lyrics are vulnerable as she sings about wishing to disappear and feeling uncomfortable. Accompanying her are the distorted electric guitars that seem to be a signature part of her choruses. She is able to explore the most uncomfortable and anxiety-riddled feelings with eloquence and upbeat vibes.
Overall, Wallice’s new EP, Mr. Big Shot, is a vulnerable look into her innermost thoughts and feelings, and it shows off her writing capabilities.
