Romanian-Lebanese singer-songwriter Alina .K seeks to dance her heartbreak away in ‘Only Love’, her latest single from what her fans hope to be her upcoming album.
It is a fun, catchy, rapturous song that will certainly be a hit number worldwide! inevitably getting listeners to get on their feet and sway to its festive beat. This is not the first electropop song sung by the Dubai-based singer; she has in fact, released an entire EP worth of discography that plays around with these funky, cheery beats that not only secure their standing among the popular dance numbers of the region but also convey a swath of emotion through their uptempo rhythms and blues.
Alina K’s sound represents her diverse identity, specifically her Romanian and Lebanese heritage, but it also highlights how the Middle Eastern contemporary music scene is flourishing rather swiftly. Speaking on how her music is developed and received by the music culture of the United Arab Emirates, she says, “We have great talent and artists who are waiting for opportunities. Since some do take their talent elsewhere, I believe we need to provide an ecosystem where artists of all kind can flourish. We need to believe in their talents, give them credit for their hard work and be supportive of their dreams.” The music scene in UAE is proving to be as multicultural and alluring, reflecting its distinct cultural integrity, and this leads the way for artists such as Alina herself to progress, and carve their own path in this industry.
“Dark days are never coming back…” she sings; her beguiling, sensituve strong voice is complemented by a winning combination of drum, bass and dubstep. The chorus simply contains the eponymous refrain of “only love” but it is daringly supported by a clever interplay of the dance-pop bass and percussion. Alina has spoken previously about her influences that range from Romanian traditional music to Lebanese artists to contemporary artists like Sia and Rihanna, and those sounds come together wonderfully in her fresh, innovative music. If this single is anything to go by, Alina K will continue climbing through the ranks in the dance music genre.
