Deep End - Alesandra Pollack (Pop) Alesandra Pollack is sending an SOS to her friends and family in “Deep End”, pleading for help as she battles life’s turmoil. The track is brooding and melancholy, while at the same time keeping a pop/dance center. Alesandra’s strong vocals roll in like a storm, reaching heights as the track progresses into richly layered vocal walls and a soaring melody. The vocals come from the soul on this one, and the gravity is doubled when she’s joined by the wailing guitar in the outro. Though the track was written when Alesandra was only 17, the song has a weighty maturity to it in the lyrics, albeit imbued with the emotional angst we all felt at that age. With “Deep End”, Alesandra opens a conversation on mental health battles by letting us into her own struggles.
Best Lyric: “Started as a joke, ended with a dare.”
