As I Try Not to Fall Apart

Ah, White Lies, the band famously known for their melodramatic anthems and angsty lyrics. Their latest album, "As I Try Not To Fall Apart," is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. From the wailing guitars to the brooding vocals, this album is a classic White Lies offering. The opening track, "Broken Promises," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its soaring chorus and melancholic lyrics. It's the perfect song to belt out in your bedroom while pretending you're in a music video. But it's not all doom and gloom on this album. Tracks like "Dancing With My Demons" and "Party Till I Die" show a more playful side to White Lies, with infectious hooks and danceable beats. It's like they're trying to convince us that they're not all misery and despair. However, it's the ballads on this album that really shine. "Tears in the Rain" is a hauntingly beautiful ode to lost love, while "Never Letting Go" showcases frontman Harry McVeigh's emotive vocals. It's hard not to get swept away in the raw emotion of these tracks. Overall, "As I Try Not To Fall Apart" is a solid addition to White Lies' discography. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a comforting reminder of why we fell in love with this band in the first place. So go ahead, grab a bottle of wine and a box of tissues, and prepare to wallow in the melancholic magic of White Lies.
