“It Stopped For Once” is a powerful new track from Alassane, an artist originally from Montreal and now based in Tucson, Arizona. An impactful vocal presence stars throughout, complemented with dynamic appeal — from the initial string-laden introspection to the more anthemic soaring that takes hold thereafter. An initial dreaminess swells into atmospheric piano and multi-layered vocal infusions, especially enveloping around the 01:40 mark as an art-pop shimmering takes hold. “It Stopped For Once” is a tonally dynamic success, full of heartfelt emotion.
