Whether you are music enthusiast or not, the best way you can express your feelings, anger, love, passion, joy and other kinds of feelings is simply through music. It is rightly said that when words and letters failed the best option is music. You will be able to express the intent of your heart through music which ordinarily may not be possible for you to either do in words or letters.

“What about me?” Ms. Cara said. “What about the people who are in the corners? There’s not enough light shed on these people.”
With the nature of today’s society, when children are recording their every move on selfie sticks and smartphones and using crazy filters, Alessia relates directly to those who create homemade music videos of their own using small-budget equipment.
*** Consistency in her image: same outfit in EP and album covers
END W QUOTE FROM PITCHFORK: “Alessia may be just starting out, but her powerhouse voice and lyrical finesse make it clear: She may have to start getting used to attending a lot more parties.”
