Rising country/pop/rock singer-songwriter Alayna's music career has been determined a lot by her fans. Her most recent EP, in production now, was funded by her fans through Kickstarter, as was her debut EP. Fans are what drive artists, and it's amazing to see how many fans Alayna has for her relatively new country music career. This track, "Crime Scene" was voted by the fans to be one of the tracks on her newest EP.
I can see why it was chosen. This track has the booming country-rock elements found in a lot of country music these days, and also the strong, interesting lyrics Alayna is known for. The song describes love as a crime, and how her relationship with her boyfriend is therefore a "crime scene." It's a new concept for country music, and the cocky way Alayna creates the story is an instant attention grabber. She dives deep into the metaphor of the song, with lyrics like, "I've got the evidence, you left the fingerprints, all over me." It's a different way to look at love and relationships, and more negatively than most artists do, but that is what makes Alayna stand out: she doesn't do what most people do.
Despite the negative connotation of love, this song has many elements of girl power. Alayna, whether she intended this or not, is telling girls to not be bossed around by guys and take control in the relationship, with little lyrics like, "I'm about to make you mine" and "I know I'm your obsession." These details and the whole production of the song make for a unique and insanely catchy track.
Alayna has all of the qualities needed to be a popular country singer: the songwriting, the production, the drive, and the look. When she is put under the right lights, and performs for the right people, her talent will take her where she wants to go.
