Fresh Find Review: “Alibi” by Libby Ember – | Pop Song

June 22nd, 2025|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Music Review:

“Οι νότες της κιθάρας ζεσταίνουν την καρδιά σου και στέκουν δίπλα σου σαν την πιο καλή παρέα. Η στοχαστική και ήρεμη μελωδία σε γεμίζει νοσταλγικά συναισθήματα και οι σκέψεις διαδέχονται η μία την άλλη. Τα φωνητικά με την ευαισθησία τους και το απαλό ηχόχρωμα τους μας εκφράζουν τόσο επιτυχημένα. Ο ρυθμός κυλά ήσυχα και μας επιτρέπει να ανασυνταχθούμε μέσα μας.”

Lyrics of Libby Ember – Alibi

[Verse 1]

Hey
It’s been two months and I’m not ready to move on yet
My eyes are red from crying out tonight
And I just can’t get your brown eyes out of my head
The kindest eyes I’ve ever seen and right

[Chorus 1]

In front of me
I see it all
Preventing this was nearly impossible
And I don’t want to be
Back in the bathroom stall
Crying over someone who’s not mine at all

[Verse 2]

Hey
I guess I just wasn’t that worthy of a fight then
It was only a few months anyway
And I guess that your priorities are right but
It felt so real, I can’t deny that I

[Chorus 2]

Don’t Understand
The reason why
Our every move together needs an alibi
I make amends
At least I try
To see the good in people who think I’m the bad guy

[Bridge/Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

The most used instruments in Blogwave Music

In Blogwave music, synthesizers are the most common and important instrument used. Synthesizers are electronic instruments that generate sounds by creating and modifying waveforms. They can produce a wide range of sounds, including melodies, chords, basslines, and effects, and are often used to create the signature sound of Blogwave music.

Other common instruments used in Blogwave music include drum machines, samplers, and sequencers. Drum machines are electronic instruments that produce drum and percussion sounds, while samplers allow users to record and play back samples of sounds, such as drum hits or individual notes from a synthesizer. Sequencers are used to program and arrange musical patterns and can be used to create complex, layered compositions.

Guitars, basses, and other traditional instruments are also sometimes used in Blogwave music, often in conjunction with synthesizers and other electronic instruments. In some cases, these instruments may be played live, while in others they may be processed through electronic effects or played using software instruments.

Vocals: Vocals can be used in Blogwave music, but they are not always present. Some Blogwave tracks are purely instrumental, while others feature vocals as a prominent element.

In Blogwave music, vocals are often treated as just another sound source, similar to a synthesizer or drum machine. They may be processed through electronic effects to give them a particular sound or texture, or they may be used in combination with other electronic instruments to create a more layered, complex sound.

Many Blogwave tracks feature vocals that are sung or spoken in a style that is reminiscent of 1980s pop and new wave music. These vocals may be treated with effects such as reverb, delay, or vocoding to give them a retro or futuristic feel.

Overall, the use of vocals in Blogwave music is a matter of personal preference for the artist or producer creating the track. Some Blogwave tracks are purely instrumental, while others feature vocals as a key element of the sound.

Overall, the most important instrument in Blogwave music is the synthesizer, which is used to create the majority of the sounds heard in this genre. Other electronic instruments, such as drum machines and samplers, are also commonly used to shape and augment the sounds produced by synthesizers.
