alayna now has the Nettwerk team in her corner. The New Zealand sensation recently signed to the label and then released the track “Just So You Won’t Be Alone”.
A showcase of the Auckland-based artist’s impressive vocal range, “Just So You Won’t Be Alone” is a splendid creation melding R&B and pop elements. Generally, the track’s moody production complements alayna’s lyrics.
“‘Just So You Won’t Be Alone’ was written a bit in a fantasy, where I give myself power to stand up for myself,” she explains. “I’m a really passive person so I can never let anger boil for too long. I even falter with my power halfway through the song and doubt myself and my conviction. It’s a few minutes of trying to wrangle with the complicated feelings of loving someone, trying to love myself, wanting to feel powerful, wanting to forgive, wanting to forget. It’s a short and sharp flame that ignites in a blaze of defensiveness and cools into self-awareness and sadness just as quickly. It’s quite different for me, and just another piece of my humanness.”
