Los Angeles alternative rock band i return with “Often,” a deeply personal and emotionally charged single that blends grunge grit with heartfelt vulnerability. Drawing from the melodic melancholy of Alice in Chains, the emotional storytelling of Counting Crows, and the raw sincerity of Pearl Jam, “Often” stands as one of the band’s most authentic releases to date.

Originally written as a poem for his wife, vocalist Al never intended for “Often” to become a full band recording. “I originally wrote Often as a poem for my wife,” Al explains. “But when the muse sent me the melody, I sent over what I had to Paul, who then wrote the music.” What began as a private love letter evolved into a powerful alternative rock ballad rooted in devotion, resilience, and survival.

The song took on even deeper meaning in 2021, when Al’s wife was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma, a rare adrenal gland cancer. After a difficult two-year battle and recovery, the band knew it was time to properly record and release “Often,” not just as a love song, but as a testament to strength through darkness.

Musically, “Often” showcases i’s eclectic influences. Clean, emotive verses bloom into soaring choruses, layered with textured guitars and a warm, analog-inspired atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and immediate. The lyrics balance simplicity and depth:

“My angel has no wings
My angel loves to sing
My angel laughs out loud
Often”

The repetition of “Often” becomes a quiet mantra, a reminder of presence, gratitude, and love in the face of uncertainty. Lines like “An angel in my hell / Forgave me when I fell” ground the song in raw humanity, embracing imperfection and redemption.

The track was previously performed during the band’s Día de Los Muertos livestream concert during COVID, but it never fit alongside their heavier live material, until now. As guitarist Paul puts it, “It’s a love song, but aren’t they all?”

With “Often,” i step beyond genre and into something timeless, a grunge-tinged rock ballad born from real life, real struggle, and real love.

For fans of 90s alternative rock, emotional rock ballads, and honest songwriting, “Often” is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful songs are the ones written quietly, for one person, and then shared with the world.
