You can hear the feeling in her voice; you can tell she is having a great time, and if Alyzra’s having fun, then that’s enough for us to have fun as well.
You can also hear power in her voice, a sense of self-assurance and self-respect. Alyzra revealed to Amo that while the track is playful and flirty, the energy she commands in the performance is a direct result of her struggles and earned confidence. As it goes, the feeling is palpable and it comes through in the track. There’s an edge behind every note, and the song resonates as an earnest experience more than a corny pop track. You have to admire the cheeky honesty in its lyrics, subverting traditional tropes and themes on love and relationships in new and refreshing ways. This is a song not about desperation, but about standing your ground and owning your power.
“Love Me Like That” is a reminder that there is no shame in mainstream or bubblegum pop, especially when the production values are this high and the performance is this captivating. Alyzra has an infectious energy that shines through in the single, and her vocal quality is such that it makes you think she has been on every summer playlist this year. This is a song for anyone who likes to dance, laugh, and just be themselves. Alyzra might be an artist you have not yet heard of, but “Love Me Like That” is one introduction you do not want to miss. She is fierce, she is fun, and if this is the kind of music she’s making, then it’s obvious to us that she’s just getting started.
