Austin’s Allyse crafts R&B-infused pop charms to pair with her sometimes self-empowered and sometimes vulnerable songwriting. The military brat fuses all of the cultural touchstones experienced throughout her childhood, her most sensitive song to date. “Lesson” is about just that, specifically lessons around relationships. How to not hurt others, how to be strong when you’re hurt, and more specifically, how to handle it when you’re spiraling and, in her words, wondering if you’re inadvertently going to wind up being someone else’s cautionary tale. Despite the song’s weight, Allyse deftly stays true to her “every song feels like Friday” vibes.
Allyse plays this Saturday at Center Stage on Parmer Lane off Dessau Rd.
