Alessi Rose – Voyeur
Today, breakout star Alessi Rose releases her highly anticipated new EP, Voyeur, out now via Capitol Records.
The 8-song set fully reveals the 22-year-old’s talent for turning her messiest and most secret feelings into arena-sized anthems. Her most realized work yet dives headlong into the kinds of experiences that reveal truths about the nature of love, lust, and longing — wrapped in a mix of tender vocals, sticky-sweet melodies, razor-sharp lyrics, and brightly gritty alt-pop.
Today also sees the release of Alessi’s new single, “Dumb Girl,” a slow-building epic that captures the whirlwind of unrequited love while showcasing her singular lyrical sensibilities (from the opening lines: “Tactile and gentle / Could laugh or even cry / Your tongue fits in my mouth / Like it’s by design”). “That’s exactly the kind of off-kilter lyric that I love,” says Alessi. “You hear it and you feel a bit uncomfortable, but to me it’s a direct translation of that feeling of being with someone and knowing they’re just going to go off with someone else as soon as they leave you.”
Made with taste-making producers like Sam De Jong (Gracie Abrams, Lennon Stella), John Hill (Cage the Elephant, Carly Rae Jepsen), Sammy Witte (SZA, Halsey), and Couros (Dora Jar, Saya Gray), Voyeur serves up a sing-along-ready, ultravivid exploration of Alessi’s complex inner world and uncompromising vision.
“On Voyeur, the voyeurism is twofold,” says Alessi of the EP’s guiding concept. “The audience becomes a voyeur of my innermost thoughts and feelings through the music, but additionally I am a voyeur of myself and my own sometimes self-sabotaging decisions. I wanted this EP to feel like the unfiltered version of events that you tell your closest friends, and I feel like the bluntness and stream-of-consciousness lyrics reflect that. I don’t care how I’m perceived because I trust the listener.”
That openness plays out on highlights like “Take It or Leave It,” a sweetly tender portrait of an excruciating crush and “Stella,” which sifts through the devastating heartache of a friend breakup.
Those songs and more join singles “Everything Anything,” the real-life tale of a problematic ex moving onto her street without warning; angsty alt-rock-edged bop “That Could Be Me”; and her Capitol Records debut “Same Mouth.”
