One of the most revolutionary and glowing moments in life is when one learns their authentic worth and stands up to those who once treated them less than they deserved. With her hypnotic artistry, Alice Jayne portrays the emergence of a fiery phoenix in her most recent edgy electro-pop song, “The High Priestess.”
Hailing from London, the artist Alice Jayne released her first two singles, “The Hanged Man” and “The Devil,” in 2022 and easily grabbed listeners’ attention on Spotify, reaching about 85k streams for both singles in just 10 weeks. She glistens in the pop sky with her distinctive sound, melodic vocals, hard-hitting lyrical themes, and tense, layered compositions.
“The High Priestess” is a song that carries both strength and vulnerability within it. Smashing the door in someone’s face ain’t an easy job, especially when they’ve been taking your presence for granted for so long; it’s a triumph, but kind of a melancholy, substantial one. Alice Jayne manages to convey these conflicted sensations through each element of the song, resulting in a tense yet celebratory output.
The atmospheric intro opens the single, sounding like it’s presenting a saga. Alice Jayne has a harmonic, dulcet voice with a dark undertone, a sentimental delivery, and an unapologetic attitude that will captivate you the moment you hear it. More density is added with the solid musicality, and each instrument enhances the jagged vibe; however, there’s an uplifting beat that gives a lighthearted glimpse into the crucially emotive sense.
With a futuristic production and lots of talent, effort, and passion put into its making, “The High Priestess” is the song you listen to charge your soul with the necessary confidence, determination, and splash of cruelty to exclude the one who sabotages you, stand on firm ground, and soften from the inside once more.
