Alejandra O’Leary stands at the crossroads of pop, rock and electronic music where she creates sonic experiences that refuse to be boxed into any one particular style. Hailing from Portland, Maine, she’s a songwriter and performer who crafts her artistic vision from her home studio and the Acadia Recording Company in Portland.
Taking cues from a diverse range of artists from Liz Phair, Evan Dando, Britney Spears and The Strokes, her musical output stitches varied influences into a unique and cohesive fabric. The echoes of The Beatles, Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams also leave their mark, resulting in a formula that won over fans and tastemakers around the world.
She’s enjoyed a decorated musical journey that spans over a decade and a half, sharing her sound across multiple well-received releases. Making her debut in 2009, she dropped her debut album Nothing Out Loud which she’s followed up by several singles and five further records with her most recent LP coming in the form of 2020’s Sunlight.
Following a brief hiatus from releasing music, she returned last year with the single “A Word About It” and now follows it up with her latest release, the brand new single titled “Undo Her.” Serving up a slice of pop-inflected rock with an experimental edge, her new single marks a departure from the guitar-driven rock and roll that defined her earlier releases, capturing a dream pop style sound filtered through a sepia-toned sonic lens.
Starting with the bright twang of guitar plucks riding the strike of snare shots, the song settles into a laid back groove with lilting bass lines, gently tapped percussion and capped by her elegant vocal leads. Casting a playful tone full of shaking rhythm, delicate melodies and an arrangement decorated with intricate guitar flutters, “Undo Her” sees Alejandra O’Leary deliver an upbeat jam that’s at once thoroughly catchy and entirely original.
Peppered with lightly gritty guitar flourishes and underpinned by subtly danceable energy and staccato instrumental pips, “Undo Her” is a truly charming new song that reveals the next chapter of Alejandra O’Leary’s consistently impressive musical story. Joining Alejandra’s performance on keyboards, synth bass, drum loops and vocals are the talents of Todd Hutchisen and Jamie Church on guitars and Joe Beninati on drums.
