ALISON WONDERLAND – GAMES
After releasing her debut album, performing at festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, Alison Wonderland has released her new single ‘Games’. ‘Games’ is the fourth single from the album ‘Run’ that debuted in the top 10 on the ARIA charts.
‘Games’ is an electronic track that combines Alison’s dreamy voice with a pumping beat to create a great single. The deep and simple electronic chords throughout gives substance and a fuller sound than when it is absent during parts of the song. The use of auto tuned singing, electronic beats, layered harmonies, and echoed vocals creates Alison’s perfect electronic/pop sound that has given her such success.
During the chorus the added vocals and beats creates a craziness that reflects lyrics like “I feel the games, you play” and “Can’t tell you what I think, you don’t even know about it”, sort of like a chase or a dizziness like when you are playing games.
The adding and taking of beats and sounds throughout the song gives the dynamic of pulling and pushing that the song is about. The song is introduced with simple sounds before heading into the rest of the song. Similarly at the end of the song the retraction of certain sounds gives ‘Games’ a sense of finality and resolution.
Fans will be extremely happy with Alison Wonderland’s new track ‘Games’ which will be sure to be played everywhere.
‘Games’ is available to purchase now!

CARRIE UNDERWOOD – SMOKE BREAK
Seven-time Grammy winner Carrie Underwood has launched her new song ‘Smoke Break’. The country star announced recently in an online chat on her Facebook page that she will be releasing a new album ‘Storyteller’ on October 23.
‘Smoke Break’ was produced by Jay Joyce and was written by Underwood, Hillary Lindsey, and Chris DeStefano. “It’s basically an anthem for every hard-working person. We all wear many hats and are spread thin, so we can all relate to being tired and needing a break. This song is about having that moment to be able to escape from whatever it is that’s stressing you out and have some time for yourself,” says Underwood.
The single has everything a country anthem should have and will be a sure-fire hit with Carrie’s adoring fans. The twang in Carrie’s voice goes perfectly with the guitar and percussion throughout the song and the electric guitar after the second chorus gives the audience the feel of being in a country bar on the weekend.
The verses of the song tell the stories of two people, the first being a hard-working mother and the second being a boy working hard in college. The chorus is all about needing a break from life sometimes: “I don’t smoke but sometimes I need a long drag, it might sound bad, but sometimes I need a smoke break”. During the verses there is only the smooth vocals of Underwood, a drum kit, and simple guitar that lets the audience listen to the stories of who she is singing about. The chorus goes into overdrive with the introduction of backing vocals, more guitars, clapping, more percussion, and the strong vocals of Underwood.
Carrie Underwood showcases her songwriting and amazing vocals in ‘Smoke Break’ and has masterfully created what will be a country anthem for years to come.
