Alkaline - Lonely | Raw | Duet Riddim | January 2014 -
: While the official digital release through some distributors is listed as August 6, 2014, the track was widely circulated and promoted in dancehall circles as early as January 2014.
At the time of its release, Alkaline was rapidly becoming a "counterculture icon" in dancehall. "Lonely" contributed to his reputation as a "thoughtful and calculating" lyricist who wasn't afraid to deviate from standard dancehall bravado to showcase vulnerability, albeit in a provocative manner. His ability to maintain independent success through his own brand and loyal "Vendetta" fanbase was further solidified by consistent releases on high-profile riddims like the Duet.
