Beren Olivia Captures the Delicate Dance of Despair and Hope in Her Single “Almost”
With her vocals piquing the veneer of a sultry twilight, Beren Olivia's "Almost" shimmers with an ethereal grace that swells on fire in transformation. With her ethereal, wounded delivery, she captures at-once the agony of self-destruction and their excruciatingly human fragility. The alt-pop gem is woven with sonic textures all around the listener: a cocoon of introspective melancholy and poignant determination. An ode of lyrical wanderlust through the mind maze that holds those thoughts and nails you from lines as harsh like in "my thoughts have claws inside of my brain." The melody swells just like the one inside, climaxing in a cathartic crescendo that is as thrilling since it is purely depressing. The result is an evocative alt-pop story that needs to perhaps be experienced rather than told, set against the backdrop of Beren's soaring yet intimate delivery on "Almost." A delicate blend of calm serenity and deep emotional rage, this track is both a reminder of Beren Olivia's amazing potential and her future ahead in music. A song that rides the line between despair and hope, pulling listeners into the intricate emotional tapestry of its subject.
