| October 20, 2025 (Cumberland House, SK) // There’s something deliciously dangerous about the kind of anger that doesn’t need to scream to be heard. Ger Carriere’s new single, “Almost Lovers,” captures that exact voltage. It’s a track that feels like it’s smirking through gritted teeth, teetering between heartbreak and vengeance. Carriere has strutted with confidence before on “Blessed In My Heels”, but this time she’s bitten down. Built on electric guitars that snarl over a hip-hop pulse, “Almost Lovers” turns disappointment into defiance. It's the pure female rage that comes from someone who is done waiting around for a guy to finally decide to do better. |

About the song Carriere expresses, “It’s about all the wanna- be Mr Ger Carriere’s. The men who approach a goddess without an offering, The love-bombing, the pretending to do me a favour, like it was my idea. Meanwhile, manipulating my compassion for you. In the end, it’s their karma to pay.” But instead of feeling sorry for herself, Ger uses it as a weapon. “Almost Lovers” feels like less of a breakup song and more like she's declaring war on guys who talk a big game but don't deliver. There’s a swagger here that calls back to early Halsey or the venomous bite of Olivia Rodrigo’s rock-leaning tracks, but Carriere’s edge feels rawer, and notably less rehearsed. Empowering, cathartic, and addictive, Carriere isn’t performing fury with “Almost Lovers” ; but rather, is processing it in real time. If you don't know Ger Carriere yet, you probably will soon. “Almost Lovers” seems like when an artist stops trying to please people and just decides to destroy everything. It's angry, it's full of life, and it's exactly what pop music needs right now. |
