about
ADR, Alessandra de Rossi’s ambient music project, has finally released the 2020 version of “Make It Better” under Lilystars Records. Delicately arranged with ethereal soundscapes, trip-hop beats, and New Age-inspired vocals, ADR’s self-penned and self-produced electro-pop number has been given a remastered treatment, making it sound more polished and intricate than ever.
Written in as early as 2010, “Make It Better” is a product of its time: a confessional outlet that simmers with disappointment and heartbreak. The otherworldly vibe evokes the pulsating confessionals of Imogen Heap and Zero 7, but her words are entirely a world of its own: a bold excursion outside celebrityhood and social expectations, where personal truths are best served in a coded form, and are blurred in dream-like filters.
lyrics
Try to fix me
Don't make it better
You see I am wiser
No more pain
I don't know your name
You say tomorrow will set me free
Are you with me?
You're not listening
And it all comes back
When it fades to black
I'm inside the box
Won't you let me out
Won't you let me out
Won't you let me out
Won't you let me out
Chain me in
You won't make it better
Won't feel weaker
You know my name
Go away, don't listen
Our sacred talk will just be locked
Inside my box
Won't stop remembering
And it all comes back
When it fades to black
When attraction dies
We live in the lies
We live in the lies
We live in the lies
Then we realize
That you won't make it better
You won't make it better
And I lose again
I lose again
I lose again
'Cause you won't make it better
You won't make it better
So I lose again
You won't make it better
So I lose again
