ALICE. released their debut track on Halloween, calling out the social media ghosters.
There are always strange happenings at Halloween. Reports of manifestations and apparitions, spooks and ghouls and freaks and fools, but unfortunately, in the world of singer, bassist and general purveyor of good times, Alice Offley, no convivial jesters, or McWitches.
For her latest single, “Stop Liking My Instagram”, the singer takes aim at the jokers that haunt her socials. These are the strange breed that display all the traits of true fandom: liking, following, messaging, engaging, only to suddenly ‘pop off’ to lurk on the peripheries, keeping tabs and cyber-stalking. “DOA just disappeared, from every day to never here, but you still watch my stories!” But she is not alone….
The track, originally written and produced in the summer and featuring on her debut album “Are You Dealing With A Snake?” due for a digital release next year, has been remixed and released by Alice, guitarist Marc Sephton and drummer John Mitson, who together form the rock and roll trio Alice. The newly formed band stand for “self-worth, defiance, and unfiltered truth – the voice for anyone who refuses to be crushed”. So no messing around then!
“This single is for all of the internet ghosters and ghouls who like to play disappearing acts after messaging for weeks, but then still stalk yer socials. Boooooo!”
Offley’s musical style has always consisted of catchy pop funk-driven tunes and Alice. continues in this vein with an added edginess. The George Michael influence on her previous release ‘Don’t You Mess With Me’, which also called out other types of blood sucker, is maintained on “SLMI”.
Think 90’s era ‘Too Funky’ with a rock element that Sephton brings with his wiry guitar, complementing Offley’s liquid bass and alluring vocals. “Now I know you might be shy, but don’t mean you have to be in-genuine”. With a playful video featuring the singer as a bespectacled school mistress teaching the “ghosters” how to behave and a cuddly toy snake for company, the familiar Alice Offley fun filter has been readily applied, but Alice. still deliver a silver bullet.
