The first original single from Toronto based singer-songwriter Ally Cribb is a bright and shimmering piece of indie pop imbued with a sense of scale that gives it an anthemically resonant chorus. Part of her upcoming EP, the song falls in Cribb’s larger vision of building a coming of age record that would resonate with anyone who yearns to feel larger than they are. There’s strong hints of perseverance and hopefulness that are foundational to ‘Bigger’, making it a record that’s as much about Ally’s own belief in herself as an upcoming artist as it is in the listener’s belief to be more than what they are. It’s rousing and endearing, emotive, and explosive all at once.
From an artist who’s clearly got the world at her feet, with plenty of room to grow and many more stories to tell, ‘Bigger’ is a step forward in the right direction from Cribb.
