Alice Merton Joins Bastille on May North American Tour | "Blindside" + "Same Team" Singles Out Now, 'S.I.D.E.S.' LP Out 6/17
"['Blindside' is] an enormously appealing song, groovy and filled with little rhythmic pops, as though Kate Bush stole Paul Simon’s backing band and took them out to perform last call at a disco."
- The AV Club
"As a twinkling tune steals focus, Merton’s raw vocals cut through the melody as she battles with her own mind to finally choose what is best for her. While narrating the downsides to being on the 'Same Team' with a person who doesn’t know what’s best for you, Alice samples her blend of alt-pop with an electronic explosion of energy — getting our hearts racing in the process."
- Wonderland
"Alice Merton has a hearty, natural voice that stays plush while echoing the power of singers like Adele and Florence Welch.”
- New York Times
"Merton’s voice is veiled behind a vocoder as synths prance around her in the background. But this track has a hard shell, recalling the punchy reflective pop songs of Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson."
- FLOOD
"She channels this unease into a dense drum beat and cathartic guitar riff reminiscent of Muse as she tries to grapple with the unpleasant sensation."
- Rolling Stone
Alice Merton announces that she will be joining Bastille on a number of North American tour dates next month. These dates come prior to her recently announced European dates in support of her forthcoming album, S.I.D.E.S.
