Alt-pop artist Natalie Holmes is set to release her highly anticipated second album, Opposite Day, on October 17.

A nod to that “you always want what you can’t have” feeling, her new single ‘Alone Time’ is a sonic self-confrontation wrapped in shimmering pop meditation.

Where the rest of the album roams, this track stands its ground, providing a steady and unwavering foundation for an eternal tug-of-war between craving solitude and needing connection, coupled with the haunting sense that you might be too tangled to harmoniously share life with another.

Melodic keys based synths pair with a heartbeat 808 kick and addictively silky, catchy vocals, building subtly throughout.
