The instrumentation in the track is just as impressive as Dawes’ vocals. The generously distorted riffs and chopped chord progressions provide a solid foundation for her outstanding performance. These elements provide the necessary sonic support, adding exciting textures and dynamics to the composition. The warm-sounding basslines and heavy rhythmic sequences add depth, clarity, and groove, creating an immersive listening experience. “What Life’s Supposed To Be” exemplifies Amii Dawes’ creativity, ideas, and musicianship. Her incorporation of various genres and ability to blend them seamlessly demonstrates her artistic versatility. The experimentation with different soundscapes within the alternative pop framework creates a refreshing and unique sonic experience that distinguishes her music.

One of the most striking aspects of Dawes’ song is its ability to resonate with listeners who may not typically be drawn to alternative music. While fans of alternative will undoubtedly appreciate the composition, its cheerful, upbeat nature and soothing ambiance make it accessible to a wider audience. The song’s message of finding joy in little moments is universally relatable, making it a worthy addition to anyone’s playlist. Whether you’re a fan of alternative music or not, this excellent composition is worth checking out. The single is available on all streaming plaftorms.
