North Carolina’s Jennifer Alvarado knows that they shouldn’t be together but feels so ‘Curious’

With her much-awaited second album ‘Songbird‘ on the way later on in 2022, Jennifer Alvarado knows that their friendship is at stake but those sweet kisses just feel so right on her romantic new single, ‘Curious‘.

Jennifer Alvarado is a Vale, North Carolina-based indie Country/Pop singer-songwriter who lets her heartfelt faith guide her into a better place with true love.

She has been recognized locally for her songwriting and was named ”One to Watch” by Nashville Songwriters Association in Spring 2021.” ~ Jennifer Alvarado

Dispatching our minds into a lovelorn spin with an elegant display that has so much substance and care encased inside, Jennifer Alvarado sings with an affectionate ambience that has you in a reflective mood thinking about somebody you love so deeply.

With her enchanting vocals and honest lyrics on offer for us to bathe into, this is a story all about wondering if you should take the plunge or rather stay as friends while you safeguard what you have already.

Curious‘ from Vale, North Carolina-based indie Country/Pop artist Jennifer Alvarado, is a relatable story about letting your good friend know that you have such strong feelings that don’t seem to be able to pass. The love is strong but you are both worried that if something goes wrong, everything might shatter into tiny pieces and be lost forever.

Sometimes the risk is worth it if you both sense that you belong together.

VALE takes us on a journey with debut single ‘Outrun The Sun’

The debut single from Brighton-based artist VALE, ‘Outrun The Sun’, was produced entirely in lockdown and totally DIY – but that’s not to understate the quality or the passion here. Growing up in Switzerland and a classically trained pianist Vale wrote her first song aged six, but her passion for electronic and pop music came to the fore as she studied composition and songwriting at Brighton’s Institute of Modern Music.

‘Outrun The Sun’ is a cute little electronic-pop single in the style of Sia, Billy Eilish, or Dua Lipa; a more subdued verse and then upbeat, catchy chorus with a nice little hook on the ‘what if we outrun the sun’ vocal line. It’s a great little summery pop song, instantly familiar and with that proper ear-worm quality that means you can’t help humming it for hours after listening. Expect to hear a lot more of Vale in the coming months.

‘Outrun The Sun’ is out now; you can hear it on Spotify. Follow Vale on Facebook or Instagram.
