There’s really very few artists to have emerged from the US in recent times that have matched the singing capabilities of Alicia Creti.
‘Strange’ treats us to a fusion of gospel-inspired pop and soul, while Creti’s impeccable vocals glide over the song’s luxurious production.
“Thank you for all the love on this song. It’s interesting because I related so heavily to it when I was at my lowest, like how I felt after writing ‘Congratulations’ where I needed to rebuild myself after losing myself in that relationship, and even more so now, where I’m learning to put myself first and am growing everyday. I think it’s telling that growth is hard and uncomfortable, and that’s okay. When I think of the ‘you’ in the outro today, I think of all of you, my family, and myself showing up for me like I wished others had done in the past. I hope that this song can help you heal and offer you some support in the way that it has for me. All of your kind words and heartfelt stories mean the world to me and have touched me beyond words. ‘Strange’ is what feels like the summary of my life and is the prelude to my story…”
Since releasing her debut single ‘Congratulations’ last year (listen here), Creti has received support from heavyweight outlets as noted as Billboard, Rolling Stone and Vents magazines.
