On “Sandy Beaches,” Madebit’s mastery of hook-driven pop writing shines brightly. Melodic vocal leads intertwine seamlessly with a grooving beat and swelling synth tones, creating an irresistible listening experience. Meanwhile, “A Sound is Born (Evolution of Self)” emerges as a dance-focused outing, where thumping beats and radiant synth harmonies converge to create an invigorating sonic journey.

As the album reaches its conclusion, “Where the Sidewalk Never Ends” showcases Madebit’s command of instrumental arrangement and production panache. This instrumental electronic cut serves as a fitting conclusion, captures the diverse palette of sounds that An Alien Among Us exudes. From the punching beats of the dance floor to the reflective hues of experimental pop, every track on the LP unveils a new facet of her artistic prowess.

With her debut record, Madebit makes a compelling artistic statement as an exciting artist who melds soundscapes from various corners of the world into an immersive experience. An Alien Among Us serves as the latest chapter in her musical evolution, a journey that threads emotions, melodies and rhythms to form an intricate tapestry of sonic discovery. As the album’s final notes fade, one can’t help but feel that Madebit’s cosmic journey has only just begun.

Commenting on the release, she shares, “This album is just as much about connection as it is about alienation. I hope that people can listen to this record and feel inspired to look at themselves in a new perspective.”

Adding, “I’m really inspired by artists that are at the helm of their recordings and write and produce everything themselves. That’s really how I want people to see me – as a producer who builds worlds and invites people into them.”
