Artist: Alice Merton
Single: Vertigo
This is the first single of the year for the German-Canadian-British artist. Merton last released her 2019 album, “Mint,” and climbed the charts quickly with her debut single “No Roots.”
Here’s what she had to say to Rolling Stone about this new song,
“Vertigo was the first song I had written, where I thought ‘OK, now I’m actually writing for the next album,’” Merton tells Rolling Stone. “For the first time in a while, I felt excited to have written a song that I couldn’t wait to perform live. It basically came about after Koz and I had talked about what it’s like living in Berlin, the very different club scene, and my anxiety when it came to going out and being in big crowds and small spaces. I casually described a club night, where I felt out of place, and the feeling of vertigo took over. We both felt it would be fun to play around with this idea and create a dark atmosphere, supported by a driving rhythm and an almost hypnotic guitar riff.”
