There are some interesting elements amongst the mix in Always, with intriguing underlying synth moments and grand piano theatrics, but the recipe is slightly overcooked with plain same-y pop tropes. It’s a proficiently crafted track, not relying on a singular idea to carry the melodic load, but there’s a certain spark missing, failing to lift above the current indie-pop glut.
