Reverliee, the alt-rock name taking the indie scene by storm, has just released her new single “Connect,” and it’s everything we need right now. Mixing the emotional intensity of Placebo with the hook-laden appeal of Olivia Rodrigo, the new song from Reverliee combines gritty alt-rock with pop gloss, transforming it into a rallying cry for anyone who has yearned for deeper intimacy.
“Connect” is a song about craving to be seen, heard, and known, a theme that runs as an undercurrent throughout the myriad complexities of contemporary romance. From the start of the song, you’re immediately sucked into its emotional tangle, a whirl of chaos that encapsulates what it means to be obsessed with someone and crave them even though you know you can’t have them. Reverliee sings in a raw and haunted voice that verges on confessional. There’s a tension you can almost taste when she sings about longing, an ache that lodges in the pit of your stomach.
For Reverliee, whose music practice began at the tender age of six, “Connect” is the result of years of discovery and development. The Greek-born, Berlin-based artist has consistently reinvented her sound, and with this release, she brings an even finer focus to her singular voice, one that conveys the fragility and strength of her emotions.
“Connect” is an ideal blend of driving, mighty rock with a pop edge musically. The anthemic guitar riffs and thumping bass that open the track make for a song that’s as emotionally fraught as it is insidiously catchy. Sounds wind through each other here, creating dreamlike soundscapes that gradually swell into crescendos of intensity. You’ll get lost in the music, stuck between the ornamental highs and the lower, reflective moments that add layers to the song.
“Connect” is an invitation to partake in that emotional rollercoaster, to feel the pangs of desire and the stiller moments of recognition, for anybody who has ever felt that ravenous need to make a connection with someone, something, or anything.
