We are quite familiar with Ally Cribb, having featured her on the blog a few times already. Looking at her overall career, we are quite impressed by the milestones she was able to achieve at such a young age. A semi-finalist in the international Unsigned Only Music Awards, the Canadian songstress has been celebrated by press outlets all around the globe, often praising her meaningful songwriting and evocative pop melodies.
‘Stand Back’ is the perfect evidence of that. Released exactly a year ago, the piece is still incredibly relevant, an electrifying country-pop heartbreak anthem that builds on self-empowerment and courage. The song focuses on the willingness to say ‘enough’, drawing a line in the sand and moving on with fierce resolve. Cribb’s vocals are a perfect match for the track, luscious and malleable, drawing the listeners in from the first note.
Delving deeper into the lyrical ethos that propels the song, Cribb explains: “This is a song I wrote about the feeling of finally being done with someone once you know they’ve wronged you and will never change. You’re past the point of forgiveness. You’re past the point of letting them back in just because they apologise and swear things will be different this time. You suddenly realise who they truly are and just want them gone.”
