🎵 Gigi Perez – “At The Beach, In Every Life” Review
By Radio Host Kyle Williams of Mayhem Rockstar Magazine Radio
With “At The Beach, In Every Life,” Gigi Perez continues to prove they’re one of the most emotionally magnetic songwriters of their generation—blurring the lines between alt-pop, shoegaze, and intimate confessionals. The track is a sweeping yet understated meditation on memory, melancholy, and the persistent ache of what lingers just out of reach.
From the moment the track begins, it evokes a sun-drenched sadness. Washed-out guitar tones float like a faded Polaroid; Perez’s voice, soft and frayed at the edges, anchors the track in something deeply human. There’s a ghostliness to the way they sing—like they’re reliving something that’s already slipped away. The production leans into nostalgia without becoming indulgent, building an atmosphere that feels half-real, half-dream.
Lyrically, the song feels like a letter never sent. The beach becomes a symbol of recurring memories, the place where love once lived—or maybe never fully arrived. “I saw you at the beach / like I do in every life,” Perez sings, and suddenly the track blooms into something more universal: how the people we lose don’t really leave—they haunt the settings we associate with them, showing up in dreams, flashbacks, and quiet moments of longing.
What’s striking is Perez’s ability to pair such deeply personal imagery with a spacious, almost cinematic soundscape. It’s a slow build, never in a rush to reveal itself—like waves washing over old footprints. The result is a song that feels timeless and immediate all at once.
Verdict:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5/5)
“At The Beach, In Every Life” is a stunning piece of emotional storytelling—subtle, aching, and gorgeously rendered. Gigi Perez doesn’t just write songs; they create memories you didn’t know you had.
