Alicia Delmarie offers healing in harmony with soulful new single “Forgiveness”

With heat in her voice and mission in her soul, American/Jamaican artist Alicia Delmarie and Sizzla, has released her latest single, “Forgiveness,” a song that feels like a healing, comforting salve for tired hearts. Born out of some smooth R&B/Soul/Reggae fusion, Alicia always brings on the chill, and it’s no different here. “Forgiveness” is an emotional experience, a soft pulse that reassures us peace is in loving others but also learning to let go. With her trademark sound of lightness and soulfulness, Alicia writes her response in a song that’s at once timely and timeless. Alicia’s vocals skate freely over a laid-back, reggae-infused groove.

The production is warm and stripped-down, affording ample space for her voice rich, honeyed, and deeply emotive to shine. Every word she sings has an unmistakably sincere ring to it, as though “Forgiveness” were a private letter written to the world. What sets Alicia apart is her spiritual glow. Her music not only sounds good, it feels good. That’s because her art has a reason for being. “Forgiveness” is representative of her struggle to be a “shining light to a positive change around the world,” and she achieves it by making an often heavy subject a soulful celebration of healing. Listeners will end up rocking gently, not only to the rhythm but to the conviction in Alicia’s sentiments.

And at a time when grudges are all too often glorified, and division feels like the rule, a song like “Forgiveness” is a breath of fresh air, a melodic head-bump toward grace. Alicia Delmarie is not only an artist but a message of joy and peace. “Forgiveness” is indicative of the positive spirit she hopes to project through her music and a sign of her developing artistry and devotion to emotional transparency. If “Forgiveness” is any indication of what’s to come, Alicia Delmarie is creating ripples in the hearts of people worldwide.
