Alice's "Consolation" is a small, thoughtful document of change. An artist who has moved between Swiss cities and made early creative friends now uses music to translate the awkward, beautiful work of becoming. The song is part of an EP called Getaway. It has electronica grooves, soft soul vocals, and hints of acoustic warmth. This is music that doesn't erase memories but instead traces their edges. "Consolation" sounds like a room where someone is learning to deal with change with interest instead of sadness.
The piece came together with the help of two longtime producer friends, and you can hear their generosity in the way it sounds: textures that shimmer, a rhythm that balances movement with stillness, and a voice that conveys experience without making a big deal out of it. The song gently talks about growing up and accepting change. Instead of telling you what to do, it tells you stories about small, everyday things that add up to a bigger picture of progress.
That domestic scale is the song’s generosity: it understands that acceptance is often a sequence of tiny, repeated acts. A chord progression is like a map of nights spent getting used to new cities, and a lyric about travel is like a code for leaving parts of yourself behind and bringing others with you. The production backs up these ideas by keeping the arrangements open and warm, which makes the human element clear.
There is an elegiac but hopeful mood of nostalgia that doesn't romanticize but instead gives someone going through changes a friend. The end result is music that feels like a letter from a friend, with sounds that are specific enough to be meaningful and open enough to be useful.
"Consolation" is important to Alice because it helps her understand things better. It makes room for the small, steady work of growing, and in doing so, it gives a gentle kind of comfort that stays with you after the song is over.
