A Chat With: Alice Merton
Filtering by Tag: Feature
Singer-songwriter Alice Mertonjust released her sophomore album S.I.D.E.S. last month as a follow up to her 2019 debut record, entitled Mint. Chances are, you’ve heard Merton’s massive hit “No Roots,” which was included on her debut record in addition to being released as her first ever single. Since the release of “No Roots,” Merton has gone on to garner over 1 Billion streams, performed at international festivals like Coachella and Hurricane, and toured with acts like Young the Giant, Vance Joy and Bastille—just to name a few.
S.I.D.E.S features the same strong vocals and intricate range we’ve heard from Alice Merton in the past, but she’s expanded and matured her artistry to another level with the new material. On tracks like “Same Team” and “Vertigo,” listeners experience Merton combining authentically transparent lyrics about the hard times she experienced over the past couple of years with vivid imagery. Merton has a knack for being descriptive enough that you can paint a picture of her tales, while at the same allowing for listeners to interpret their own meanings from the music. Throughout the fifteen tracks on the record, Merton brings us along for the ups and downs of her challenging journey, but we end on a high note with “The Other Side.” The final song perfectly describes that feeling when optimism starts to creep back into your life following a particularly hard time, which I think is something we could all stand to be reminded lately.
When Alice Merton and I connected over Zoom the week following S.I.D.E.S’ release date, it was just hours after the announcement that Roe V. Wade had been overturned by the Supreme Court. During our discussion, we talked about the challenge of balancing healthy distractions against the never-ending cycle of bad news, her nomadic lifestyle, artistic inspiration and more. Tune into the full conversation below.

Human smuggling is a consensual transaction where the transporter and the transportee agree to circumvent immigration control for mutually advantageous reasons; human trafficking, on the other hand, is the transportation, transfer, or harboring of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, or abduction. These issues are particularly relevant to immigrants as many individuals who migrate to other countries are often vulnerable to exploitation by traffickers and smugglers. The United States has implemented various policies and initiatives to combat human smuggling and trafficking, yet these efforts have largely failed to produce significant results. This is due to how layered the issue is, involving transnational criminal networks and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The criminal organizations behind human trafficking and smuggling are highly adaptable and continuously evolve their tactics to evade law enforcement measures. The focus on border security and immigration enforcement often neglects the root causes of human trafficking, such as poverty and lack of opportunities in countries of origin. The criminalization of migrants and the use of harsh penalties for smuggling and trafficking-related offenses can further victimize those who are already vulnerable. A more comprehensive and nuanced approach from the U.S. that addresses the root causes of trafficking, strengthens victim protections, and targets the financial and logistical networks of traffickers is necessary to effectively combat this complex issue. In order to resolve this matter, the U.S. must first recognize why their past attempts at From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of notable people who live or have lived in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. .The Blaine Essay
