SINGLE REVIEW: Hello Sister - All Over Again
'All Over Again' is drenched in nostalgia, reflecting on a relationship or friendship that wasn’t always perfect but still felt like it was worth every moment. It’s the kind of track that looks back on the highs and lows, not with regret, but with the realisation that even with all its imperfections, you’d do it all over again. That sentiment is wrapped in a sound that moves between tenderness and power, shifting effortlessly between dreamy verses and weighty, grunge-driven choruses.
The opening is instantly captivating, launching straight in with powerful, guitar-driven energy that immediately demands attention. Then, as the intensity pulls back, the song drifts into a serene, almost weightless verse, where delicate, heartfelt vocals take centre stage. There’s a softness here, an introspective pause that gives the lyrics space to breathe, drawing the listener in with a quiet vulnerability. But just when it seems like the song might settle into a dreamlike haze, the chorus crashes in—bold, heavy, and grunge-inspired, injecting a rugged contrast that keeps the track grounded. This push and pull between fragility and force is what gives 'All Over Again' its emotional weight, making it feel lived-in and authentic rather than polished to perfection.
Stylistically, it blends elements of alt-pop and alt-rock, but there’s more to it than that. There’s a country twang laced through the melodies, adding an unexpected warmth, and a dream pop shimmer that softens the edges just enough to let the emotion shine through. It’s a mix that feels natural rather than forced, giving the track an effortless confidence. More than just catchy, 'All Over Again' resonates—it’s the kind of song that sinks in deep and stays with you, its anthemic heart beating strong beneath every note. Hello Sister have delivered something commanding, relatable, and, most importantly, real.
