Информация об исполнителе
Alyse Vellturo, профессионально известная как Pronoun, - американская певица, автор песен и группа из одной женщины, базирующаяся в Бруклине, Нью-Йорк. Ее музыка была описана критиками как инди / синтезатор. и инди-поп. Биллборд назвал ее одним из их выдающихся инди-артистов на 2019 год.
Pronoun’s Alyse Vellturo has a backstory so earnest and precious it seems impossible to hate. The Brooklyn-based musician attended Berklee College of Music, got spooked by how talented her classmates were, and then retreated into the shadows for a decade until she finally gained the confidence to give music another shot. Now Vellturo is 30, and she’s finally released her debut, i’ll show you stronger, a record of small dream-pop ditties largely about heartbreak. The record is a labor of love, albeit a not entirely realized one.
Vellturo knows her way around reverb-heavy guitar parts, emo-inflected vocals, and pop-punk percussion, but i’ll show you stronger doesn’t fit easily into any of those columns. She has no brand allegiance to a specific sound, which for the most part lends itself to compelling results. Take “you didn’t even make the bed,” a song that’s coated in Sunny D on the outside and oozes anguish from within. Here, Vellturo plays a tenderly picked guitar line that gets rejiggered and muddled up by competing vocal lines and incandescent production flourishes. Then come the lyrics, which are some of the record’s most candid: “I said talk to someone your own age/Not fuck a 45-year-old/Who’s expired,” she sings, sounding like an emo Victoria Legrand who chews on consonants and doesn’t quite have the necessary breath control. It’s a painfully intimate scene that she keys us into, making a point early on that i’ll show you stronger is written for Vellturo and Vellturo alone.
“Stay” has a similarly cheery exterior, while the lyrics compare falling out of love with getting run over by an 18-wheeler. Both the song and the experience it depicts feel kind of unresolved, unfinished, and messy around the edges. You still might get weepy, though. On the following track, “Sadie,” Vellturo addresses the person making her miserable. “So Sadie, don’t act like I’m the problem/When you ran out of money and sought out your rock bottom,” she sings, with a fixed gaze. Vellturo is raw, and her pain isn’t fleshed out yet. Neither is the song.
