On her new single, "in between," alt-pop artist Alana Hil proves that she can communicate life's uncertainties through color and sound. Keying "Diaries of a Common Woman," her new EP, which was released with this track, the song captures the shifting through uncertainty, and the hushed spaces between who we were and whoever we're becoming.
Hil's delivery and voice soars with the warm grit that blends the emotional depth of soul and R&B with the consistent tone of contemporary pop. The production works in complementary harmony with her storytelling, and this is evident in the video, as well as in the openness of the images and the introspective moments, which showcase growth and change. Together, they weave a story that is close to the heart but familiar to anyone who has ever had to make a difficult decision.
"in between" deals more with balance than heartbreak and the effort of looking feelings in the eye and learning how to let go. Hil's range shines on "Diaries of a Common Woman," but "in between" serves as the emotional centerpiece of the project. It's that combination of self-consciousness and artistic maturity that resonates a moment seemingly suspended in the infinite. With this release, Alana Hil now arrives as a significant voice artist with the added distinction of being real both in talent and character. "in between" personifies the loveliness associated with not knowing and is a beautiful point of reference when we forget that growth often develops in the cracks and crevices where we least expect it.
