Poptastic Confessions!: Into The Light EP by Alice D

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Last week, Alice D released her new EP called Into The Light. This picks up where her excellent 2021 EP Where The Wild Flowers Grow left off. Get excited, because there are a lot of gems here.

"Into The Light – Intro" is a 44-second song filled with distant drums and the music sounds like something from a movie. It sets the tone for the euphoria you are about to hear. This was written by Alice D, Melomé Clement, and Tim Blok, who also produced the track.

"Nervous" was the second single that Alice released this year. It came out in the beginning of August, and it has been a favourite on our Poptastic Confessions playlist. A summer anthem. Check out what we said about it here. "Nervous" was written by Alice D, Melomé Clement, and Tim Blok, who also produced the track. Watch the music video here ...

"Ego" has lyrics are about difficulties in a relationship. The music and melody will have you singing along in no time. There are so many wonderful sounds here. This is really good. "Ego" was written by Alice D and Tim Blok, who also produced the track.

"Protect My Light" is more of a down tempo song, but we aren't sure if it is ballad. Perhaps somewhere in between. Alice sounds great on this. "Protect My Light" was written by Alice D and Tim Blok, who also produced the track.

"Warrior" is simply AMAZING! We absolutely love this song. It is absolutely beautiful from start to finish. It really is a girl power anthem. The music is dreamy and Alice command the vocals with such power. There is even a wonderful talking bit after the first chorus. This is one of those songs that you want to listen to again as soon as it done. We know because we have been singing it ever since we heard it. "Warrior" was written by Alice D and Julian Simmons, who also produced the track. Check out the incredible, fantastic lyric video ...

"Bittersweet" lightens the mood a bit with this almost tropical tune. We are loving the flute, which is also on some other songs on this EP. "Bittersweet" was written by Alice D, Lee Baxter, and Tim Blok, who also produced the track.

"Passion" was the first single from the EP, which was released in June. So we have been listening to this sensual tune all summer long, and we love it. "Passion" was written by Alice D and Tim Blok, who also produced the track. Check out the lovely music video here ...

"Out Of The Dark – Outro" is another 44-second track that ends the EP. It is sounds like a version of "Passion" that has been put through a time-space continuum. This was written by Alice D and Tim Blok, who also produced the track.

Overall, this is a great EP from Alice. It really shows off her songwriting skills, as well as her vocals always sounding so warm and smooth. The artist that is Alice D is evolving and we are loving what we are hearing. It's been really nice to have been along for the ride since her very first release.
