Alternative Pop Artist Carley Varley’s Better Without Me: The Indie-Pop Gem

Will Lisil 16 February 2023

It’s no secret that the indie-pop genre gets much attention. The ethereal melodies and sweet harmonies have effects on music lovers all around the world, including yours truly. Carley Varley is one of the hardest-working indie-pop artists I’ve come across in a long time. And today We’ll be checking out her single Better Without Me!

It would be a great honour if I were to introduce you to Carley Varley who is an alternative artist based in South West UK. While releasing Pop music in the past, she has recently decided to focus on genres that have influenced her for the majority of her teens and early twenties in order to create music that is inspired by those genres.

In the past, she has always been a huge fan of bands such as Linkin Park, Paramore, and Evanescence, and so she wanted to make music that was more in the same style as those bands.

It’s clear what her classic sound is when you listen to this song she released, “Better Without Me”, which is engaging and catchy at the same time.

There is a lot of power behind it—the vocals are strong and clear, while the instrumentals are well-balanced between guitars, bass, and drums.

There are many similarities between this song and classic rock songs from the 1990s and early 2000s. Additionally, there is also a great deal of movement and energy in the song, so it keeps a constant pace throughout its entirety, making it an excellent song throughout.

Additionally, the song has a strong vocal performance by a female vocalist that produces a strong vocal performance that goes hand-in-hand with its catchy lyrics. On top of that, it has easy-to-sing-along lyrics, which can only be a good thing! Check out its music video on YouTube…
