I was overwhelmed by standing amid a large crowd, I put my headphones on and played βIf Onlyβ by Ali Rice, and suddenly everything was a whole lot better. The intro of the song, where peopleβs voices can be heard before the music initiates is the exact feeling I described earlier. βIf Onlyβ is a combination of Pop Rock, Groove Rock, and just plain Euphoria.
Ali Rice truly composed a beautiful track. βIf Onlyβ has an excellent bass arrangement, it plays notes that add a nice effect to the track. The guitars are very atmospheric, whether theyβre playing a plucking, or a muted riff, it sounds remarkable. My most treasured portion of the track is that otherworldly guitar solo. Oh my God, that build-up was absolutely insane, and when the actual solo began I was transported to another universe. The tension of the solo is expressed so audaciously with incredible pull-offs (that is the bending of the strings). Now, about Aliβs voice. He truly has a dazzling range, and itβs just so darn clean! Every word is clear, and itβs all very comforting to hear!
Overall, βIf Onlyβ is a phenomenal track that deserves recognition. I believe this song will allow people to be mesmerized by it. Anyone whoβll listens to this track will be blown away by it. Ali, originally from the United Kingdom, is now recognized as a distinguished solo performer and multi-instrumentalist. In his music, he explores ideas like societal constructs, love, happiness, and the challenges of the modern world.
