Lisa Krystina x Little Steed transport us back to the 80s with their latest release 'Better Alone'. The keyboard sounds and overall production just remind you of very early Madonna, in the days when the world felt less stressed; youth was a giddy joy, not mental health battlefield acted out on social media.
Musically 'Better Alone' seems like a bright and breezy pop song, but once you delve a little deeper into the words sung by Lisa Krystina, it all appears a shade darker. The song tackles the uncomfortable moment when the fantasy of a relationship disappears, leaving the courage to walk away as the only way forward. Like a lot of good pop recordings, there's a slight edge if you scratch beneath the surface.
