Citing in APALIKE style with only year in brackets

Question

I need to have only year in brackets in my citations in the text. How can I achieve this using the APALIKE bibliography style? I'm using an apalike.bst file, too.

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{apalike}

\begin{document}

This is an example of a paragraph with in-text
citations using the apa BibTeX style.
Here is a reference to a journal article with
a single author \cite{palmer1997music}, to a journal
article with two authors \cite{greer1986music} and
three authors \cite{greer1986music}, and to a book
with four authors \cite{ahmat2017central}.

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{biblio.bib}

\end{document}  

I've also tried the following code in the preamble but it produces no difference as citation in the text:

\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear, natbib]{apalike}

I really want to keep my bibliography in apalike style as it is now. I just would like to modify the citation style in the text, namely to "TEXT TEXT (year)".

Answer 1

Finally, I've found an answer by combining some commands. It is actually working for me but not sure how I managed to achieve this. Probably, there is some redundant code in there.

I've inserted the following code in the preamble:

\usepackage[round]{natbib} 
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear, natbib]{apalike}

In the document, I use \cite and the following code to generate my bibliography in apalike style:

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{referencefile.bib}
