There seems to always be fighting and anger in modern society. All it takes is to scroll through Instagram or Tiktok, and you will find someone hating on another person for what seems like the stupidest reason. In such a scary world, Alias Wayne creates a glimmer of light with his new album, Paradigm Shift. Using his soft tunes and intricate beats, Alias Wayne hopes to create a more unified society with a sound that all people can listen to and smile, no matter who they are.
Alias Wayne is an alt-indie artist who uses a mix of genres, such as rock, blues, jazz, and world. He is often attributed with free-spirited musical savviness that turns into avant-garde melodies. His music has been praised for its originality and wholesome lyricism. His music is not just a beat and lyrics, it’s a soundscape with compelling stories and a lighthearted tone enjoyable for everyone.
Butterflies are some of the most innocent creatures. Even if people hate bugs, they typically find these insects beautiful. Alias Wayne brings that idea into play with his song “Butterfly,” which was written for his daughter. The song is sweet and light, with the softness of the piano and his voice contributing to a mellow tune. It sounds nostalgic, and leaves us yearning for a time when we were just kids admiring the world around us. It’s like he can see through his own daughter’s eyes and see the gentleness and brightness of the world.
Listen To “If I Could Love You” Here:
Yearning for something you can’t have is a painful, but universal, experience. “If I Could Love You” sounds just like that feeling. Every note sung and played feels like longing. With its unique beat, the song sticks out while not feeling abrasive or aggressive. It just feels true and genuine. The feelings behind the song are raw, but with a polished final sound that fits perfectly with what the song is trying to convey.
Despite these softer sounding songs, Alias Wayne does not hide from darker themes. The song “Manifest Destiny” shows how the world has changed, and yet has also remained the same. The idea of manifest destiny, of U.S. citizens in the past believing they deserve to have all of America, was what created the American dream. However, this song shows how that dream isn’t as perfect as it should be. The beat is consistent and strong, just as this idea of a better future has been. Alias Wayne’s vocals also provide a deeper look. His voice throughout the entire song is not angry or upset, it’s just calm. In my humble opinion, that’s what makes this song work. Even if it is talking about darker themes, it does so in a way that is digestible for all no matter what they believe or think, creating a unified sound and people.
The world can be a dark, unhappy place. But with people like Alias Wayne, there seems to still be some hope. Paradigm Shift is full of songs that are both real and soft. They all show the human experience, whether that’s through childlike wonder, love, or pain. This is what makes Alias Wayne work perfectly into our current society.
