“Sunbeam by Alina Baraz is a bright, smooth R&B four-track EP with a total run time of around 12 minutes. It was released on September 24, 2021. The EP includes the single “Alone With You” which was released on July 22, 2021.

If You Let Me
The opening track on this EP gives listeners insight into how Alina Baraz is feeling, starting off the project. The song has a dreamy production that draws you in. Throughout the song, the singer attempts to encourage her partner to open up and share their feelings with her.

Between Us
“Between Us” pulls us into the sunlight. The beat is light and simple, something that I can find myself listening to start my day off. A lyric that stood out to me was “No more wasted days between us.” From that, I can tell that Baraz is speaking to her partner once again and asks that they use their time together wisely.

Alone With You
“Alone With You” is the third track on the EP and the lead single. The production returns to smooth and tranquil on this song until the outro. The beat slows down, and the bass is more prominent in the outro. The singer expresses her love for her partner and how their relationship has stayed strong throughout the years. I can see why this is the lead single of the EP because of how meaningful the lyrics are.

I Could Imagine
The final track on Sunbeam opts for a classic R&B sound. Wooden percussion, deep bass, and smooth synths outline the song. In this song, Baraz expresses how, although she wants to be in a relationship, she finds herself “running away” from actually committing to being in a relationship.
