Indie Pop from Alice June

Alice June is a rising star hailing from Milan, a singer-songwriter whose artistic journey has taken her from small-town theatre productions to the main stages of the city’s music scene. With a passion for expressing her creativity in the English language, Alice has crafted a unique style of indie pop that’s struck a chord with a global audience.

Her music, heavily influenced by artists such as Florence + the Machine, distils themes of freedom and love, framed by her jet-setting lifestyle and international collaborations. Her journey into the music world began in April 2021 with the release of her debut single, “Waterfall.” Since then, she’s won over listeners with a series of well-received singles, clocking tens of thousands of streams on Spotify.

Her ability to connect with audiences across borders is one of the most compelling aspects of her sonic output, which is crafted through a collaboration of international musicians and producers with mastering handled by multi-Grammy-winning engineers in the USA. This global approach to her music production reflects her ambition and the expansive reach of her artistic vision.

Now, Alice June returns with her latest release, “Battery Park,” a single that draws inspiration from the iconic Battery Park in New York City. The song explores ideas of insufficient love, the kind that drains one’s energy but ultimately teaches valuable lessons about self-protection and preserving your own peace. Taking cues from her musical heroes such as Kate Bush and Florence + the Machine, the influence of these legendary artists echoes in the song’s ethereal yet powerful sound, which combines soaring vocals with intricate production.

Continuing her international ethos, the song was recorded between Italy and the UK, involving Italian producers as well as musicians from both counties. Kicked off by the strike of drums, the arrangement flows into an uptempo lend of punchy percussion, pulsing synth tones and intricate guitar lines before Alice’s commanding vocals enter to spin alluring melodies and poignant lyricism above.

Rising into an epic chorus of anthemic indie pop, Alice’s voice soar above the bright instrumentation and energising rhythms to form a gripping sound that’s catchy and moving in equal measure. Once again putting her songwriting talent and stunning vocals on full display, “Battery Park” sees Alice June continue to go from strength to strength with another sensational single and we can’t wait to see what she’s got lined up next.
