American motivational speaker and singer Alethea Crimmins has released her first single, Shine. The song celebrates self-love, self-confidence, happiness, and hope. It’s also about being a confident woman, shining one’s light and positivity, and not caring what others think.
The music is Funk. It has an upbeat sound with incredible rhythm and a fun, catchy beat. The song starts with a slow intro that reminds me of Cher’s 90s single Believe. Then it smoothly transitions into a 70s vibe that parallels Donna Summer’s single Bad Girls, with some Disco-style beats and Janet Jackson’s 80s hit When I Think of You. The tempo changes are fantastic, complementing a shift in mindset – a time of growth and healing. Althea Crimmins and Russel Cormier composed the music.
