ALEIA Gets Vulnerable With “Pretty When I Cry”

ALEIA’s got me right in the feels with her beautiful new single “Pretty When I Cry.” It’s a heartbreaking indie folk/pop ballad about being in the wrong relationship. Don’t be surprised if you get a bit choked up listening to ALEIA’s confessional lyrics and heartfelt vocals.

“’Pretty When I Cry’ was written about the desperation of clinging to the belief someone has your best interests at heart when they don’t,” she said. “When you have tell yourself a lie until you trust it as the truth, even when all the sign suggest otherwise.”

ALEIA’s impressed me with two cracking singles this year, and I hear she’s not done yet. Follow her on the socials to learn more about the musical she’ll release in the coming months.

ALEIA Releases Heartfelt Debut, “Had Your Fun”

Boorloo/Perth singer-songwriter ALEIA has really impressed me with her debut single “Had Your Fun.”

This is such a well-written indie-pop ballad about a relationship gone wrong. It reminds me so much of songs from fantastic late ‘90s artists like Fiona Apple and Natalie Merchant, so if you’re into them, I know “Had Your Fun” will be right up your alley.

Make sure you follow ALEIA on her socials. When artists release such strong debuts, you know you want to hear what comes next.
