Coming right out of the South West of England we have Ali Rice with his strong new offering, "If Only". The track is his second outing of 2022 and follows on from his cracking single, "Passenger". As the song opens up it sounds so melodic and shimmering, something like Stereophonics perhaps would write, and vocally it's just as captivating. His tones are so welcoming and will certainly ease you into his sound within a heartbeat or two.
I can easily see a tent full of festival goers bopping and grooving to this song.
Instrumentally the song is a it's peak in the bridge with the build-up getting you hyped for what's to come, and when it his the track becomes borderline anthemic - I can easily see a tent full of festival goers bopping and grooving to this song.
Speaking about the single Rice mentions - "This song is about dealing with regrets in a social setting, and how sometimes people facing these issues can feel isolated from the world, despite having many people around them."
If you like what you hear be sure to check out his previous releases and check him out if he's performing live, I'm sure he's as good live as he is on record.
