Jamie Alimorad has always had a knack for crafting sleek pop melodies, but on ‘Two Wrongs’, he trades polish for punch, and the result is a welcome jolt to the system.
Clocking in as one of the most driving releases in his catalogue to date, this track finds the LA-based artist digging deep into his rock roots. Gone are the synth textures and gentle hooks of his earlier work. In their place are snarling guitars, soaring vocals, and a production style that feels more garage than glossy. Think arena-ready swagger filtered through a basement jam session.
Co-produced with Jordan Sherman and tracked in a fast-paced, no-frills session, ‘Two Wrongs’ carries the feeling of a band playing on instinct. Alimorad handles most of the instrumentation himself, but nothing about this recording feels isolated.
Lyrically, the song leans into confrontation, and the aftermath of saying what can’t be unsaid. But rather than wallow, Alimorad lets it rip. His vocals take centre stage, especially in the fantastic climactic bridge, where a lush vocal stack nods subtly to Beatles-era psychedelia.
What makes ‘Two Wrongs’ stand out is the sense of liberation that pulses through every second. You get the feeling Alimorad’s been waiting to make a track like this for a long time. Now that he has, it’s clear that he’s not just dipping his toe into rock territory. He’s diving in headfirst.
If you’ve only known Jamie Alimorad for his softer side, ‘Two Wrongs’ might catch you off guard. But once the chorus kicks in, you’ll be glad he decided to turn up the volume. This is the sound of an artist unfiltered and on fire.
