Singer-songwriter and filmmaker at heart, ALIE follows a singular path where music and cinema intertwine. After early beginnings in a garage rock trio and notable shows at Supersonic in Paris, she moved to New York to study film, writing and directing two short movies. Back in France, she returned to songwriting with a clear vision: to merge visual storytelling with raw musical emotion.
Influenced by artists such as Clairo, Phoebe Bridgers, and Big Thief, ALIE crafts a sound that blends pop rock, surf rock, and folk. Beneath her bright, catchy melodies lie deeply personal themes — trauma, vulnerability, and healing. This contrast between sonic lightness and emotional depth has become her signature.
With an EP, multiple singles, and a growing international audience — including 40,000 monthly Spotify listeners and over 300,000 streams on her Take on Me cover — ALIE is steadily establishing herself as an indie artist to watch.
Work Song: Minimalism and Devotion
Her latest release, Work Song, perfectly embodies her artistic identity. Built on a stripped-down arrangement of guitar, voice, and tambourine, the track embraces raw sincerity. There is no excess here — every word breathes, every silence speaks.
The lyrics portray a harsh world marked by exhaustion and burning heat, where love becomes a vital force. The beloved figure emerges as an absolute refuge, offering forgiveness and redemption beyond past mistakes. Even death is no longer an end, but a distance the narrator would cross to return to the one they love.
Moving between fever, guilt, and solace, the song depicts an unconditional love that dissolves the boundary between heaven and hell. In the dim light of an empty room, tenderness becomes illumination, turning fragility into an eternal promise.
A Voice Growing in Clarity
With Work Song, ALIE confirms her ability to move listeners with minimal means and profound honesty. Her cinematic sensitivity invites us not just to hear the song, but to inhabit it — like an intimate scene unfolding in real time.
In an era of overproduction, ALIE chooses restraint and authenticity. It’s a bold decision — and a deeply affecting one.
