“Therapy…twice a week…I work for my sanity…didn’t expect…me to get knocked right off my feet…”
I was mindlessly scrolling when I was recommended the visualizer for Overwhelmed by Alicia Creti. I decided to give it a listen and was immediately blessed. I had never heard of Alicia Creti before this. This was my first time ever hearing her voice. I was not prepared. The grit. The color. The soul. Her voice is incredible. I don’t really want to compare her to anybody, but I will say the people who love the runs and depth of fuller voices, you are going to feel this. One of the words that kept coming to my mind as I listened to her was oily. If you know, you know. I looped the video and then went and found the song on streaming because I felt like I had just found my new favorite song. It is one of those songs that just gets down into you and makes the hairs stand up on your arms.
It is timely for many, I am sure. Many people are overwhelmed right now, but what makes this particular song so amazing is that it is a love song. It sounds like Alicia is singing from the soles of her feet. She makes you feel it all as wells in the most phenomenal way. I knew it was a great song because I immediately wanted to learn the lyrics so that I can sing it. For people who love soulful music, people who have been missing the heart of R&B, please take a moment to listen to this. Especially with your headphones or earbuds in. Alicia has just made a fan out of me. I will be going through her catalog, but for right now, I will be listening to this song a lot. Watch the visualizer of Overwhelmed below. You’re welcome:
