California emerging electronic music producer Drewski The Homie shares his brand new single I’ll Be Alright, an upbeat alt-pop track with electro-pop touches. What I like the most about this song is its passionate vocals and how they radiate so much raw emotion and soul, beautifully drawing my attention to his relatable storytelling. I’ll Be Alright is a song about feeling unheard, lost, and heartbroken, but still clinging to hope and love as a lifeline. As the title implies, it’s a song that reassures a partner that things will be alright as long as they reassure them with love and not…
