One song. Every day. Alphabetical order.

You Are Not Alone (from Time For Us – 2019)

Judging from its title along, you might expect You Are Not Alone to be some drippy, lighters-in-the-air ballad. But while the song is sentimental, it’s buoyed by hearty percussion that transforms it into a more galvanizing sound. It doesn’t scale the energetic heights of GFriend’s early material, but it borrows from a similarly effusive style and doesn’t skimp on their musical hallmarks (punchy synth, electric guitar, etc). A more intense instrumental and thrilling climax would have done wonders for the track, but I quite like this one even as it is.
