Emerging Australian singer-songwriter Ali Lamb has just gifted us a truly touching acoustic number, ‘Make It Make Sense’. Released today, the new single resonates with a familiar, almost nostalgic charm, layering gentle pop sensibilities with country charm to deliver an ensnaring combination.
Set against a tender acoustic sound, Ali encapsulates that universal feeling of grappling with life's inherent unfairness, charting the course from the carefree days of youth to the sometimes-brutal truths of adulthood. It’s a song that artfully contrasts her sweetly sung style with growing frustrations and the struggle to decipher a world that often seems unjust, unkind, and totally illogical.
A sweetly sung country track imbued with warmth and understanding, ‘Make It Make Sense’ shines through Ali’s vocals. They possess a luminous quality, perfectly complementing the bright, country-tinged guitar. The chorus, with its beautiful and enchanting simplicity, anchors the song with a timeless blend of shimmering acoustic guitar and poignant lines like, "She's always cleaning up messes she didn't make, she's always giving what she can when they always take.” It all builds to the perfect sing-along outburst of “she just can't get it, it drives her insane, just make it make sense" that will sweep you away in an instant.
For Ali Lamb, an Indie-Pop artist hailing from Australia, music is clearly more than just a pastime, and her passion shines through in songs that are undeniably written from the heart. While she's honed her craft through various performances, from cosy café gigs to appearances at local festivals like Kingston's Mordialloc Festival, Mordi Moves, and Tinsel Trail, as well as featuring in a short documentary, it's this latest release that truly showcases her ability to tap into universal emotions.
Available today, ‘Make It Make Sense’ serves as a comforting anthem for anyone who has ever felt adrift in the complexities of life, yet maintains that unwavering desire to find understanding.
