Marking Alix of Tomorrow’s third single to date, ‘Alien’ advances the Brussels-based songstress and producer’s bold quest for electro-pop domination. Crafting a sound that’s punchy and striking, yet emotive and nuanced, the talented musician wraps listeners into a seemingly otherworldly aural panorama, a sonic experience that’s rather intense and uplifting, with a touch of lyrical futurism and quirky, wholesome imagery.
While ‘Alien’ might imply a certain sci-fi flair, the song actually draws inspiration from Alix of Tomorrow’s personal dealings, as she navigates a chaotic, complex world and strives to find the best version of herself, a place where she belongs. As the artist eloquently explains: “I’ve always felt like an outsider in this world. While we often consider difference to be a strength, ‘Alien’ reveals its hidden face, the loneliness, the doubts, the difficulty to find one’s place”.
From a production standpoint, the record oscillates between hazy textures and a tight, dance-inducing beat embodying a modern electro-pop ethos, yet never forgetting Alix of Tomorrow’s overall eclecticism. Classically trained, the Belgium-based creative does a great job of identifying an aural identity that’s specific and striking, yet not overly nostalgic or mainstream. It’s a precise formula that seems to resonate well with Alix’s charming, anthemic vocals. Stay tuned, there’s more to come…!
