"..your seven figures living high life,
you're working 9-5 with no time,
you don't feel fine, you don't feel fine
I'm at the bottom living low life,
I do what i want with my time,
You got your sh*t and I got mine..."

"Doing this appealing folk pop sound justice! Triple J, Dave Ruby Howe Dec 2023
"As soon as those pacey country/folk styled jangles kicked in, this upload (Barefeet) was immediately giving Little Talks 'Of Monsters and Men'or 'Mumford and Sons'"I Will Wait" energy! A tune to send you back to the early 2010's with a sense of newness and freshness!<3 Triple J, Anika Luna 2023
"Ally Row putting a little sweetness in my step with their sugary harmonies" - Triple J, Joe Khan 2021
"I Got Mine" is a folky, upbeat anthem with toe-tapping vibes and compelling female-led lyrics that tell a story of life's twists and turns. Set against a backdrop of road trip nostalgia, the song explores the contrasting paths of individuals navigating the highs and lows of existence. The songwriting paints vivid portraits of different characters facing their trials and tribulations. From the disillusionment of a corporate worker whose family has slipped away to the penthouse dweller whose marriage unravels in the shadow of central park, each verse reveals layers of complexity and emotion. Amidst the turmoil, there's a sense of resilience and self-assurance. The protagonist, living life on her own terms in a caravan, finds solace in pursuing her passion despite the challenges. The whistle solo adds a playful touch, enhancing the song's buoyant spirit and sense of freedom. Ultimately, "I Got Mine" is a celebration of individuality and self-determination. It's a reminder that, despite life's ups and downs, each person has their own journey to navigate and their own version of fulfillment to pursue. Loved it!" - Oghamyst Music, Mar 2024
"This song (Struggling to Breathe) manages to blend dramatic pop elements with raw emotions to create what the indie-folk duo describe as 'a heartwrenching and breathtaking experience" - Beat Magazine
"Crafty guitar picking, gorgeous harmonising vocals, a delicate glockenspiel and an inspiring message of positivity, this is just the song to (Why Do I care) kickstart your day"- Au Review, Bruce Baker
"Melbourne troubadour-duo Ally Row have let fly a blissful track that gives us that feel good 90's vibe infused with satisfying Tea-for-the-Tillermanesque introspection" - Livewire
"The duos captivating vocals are delicately intertwined during the songs strong infused choruses, with each vocalist showcasing their unique textural tones throughout their individual verses" - Milky
