‘Lifeline’ by London-based Tam Alawa is a deeply resonant poem for those torn between two worlds, which almost is everyone today. This song rises out of despair to hold on to hope. ‘Lifeline’ is an honest expression of the composer Tam Alawa, who wishes for her music to speak for itself. A mellow start with a powerful chorus and insightful lyrics makes ‘Lifeline’ an ingenious production.

“Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do as an artist is stay soft in a world that rewards the opposite.” Quoting Alawa from her Social Media page, her potent message shifts similar conditioned perspectives in the track. “I don’t wanna be a lifeline, but you’re pulling me down. I’ll be waiting for the right time, but if I hang around, we’ll both drown.” The lines of the chorus emasculate the daylight of hope, creating difficulty in choosing what is needed, while at the same time opening a creative space for reflection. Tam’s rich, clear voice with the distinctive melodic acoustic rhythm and soft drums oscillates between her high-pitched and edgy chorus, keeping a balance of sounds in the track. The choral ending makes a very melodramatic ending to ‘Lifeline’. Listeners can interpret the song along the lines of personal perspectives, leaving them self-conscious of the meaning.
