Spanish/American artist Alexa Dark creates a genre-defying sound that fuses cinematic grandeur, evocative lyricism, and haunting vocals. Influenced by artists from Nancy Sinatra to Portishead, as well as the cinema of French New Wave and Old Hollywood noir, her music mirrors her multicultural upbringing across London, Barcelona, and New York City.
Dark shares “Alibi“–a glamorous, reckless ode to romanticizing all parts of life, even the forbidden or toxic. The track unfolds like a shimmering 1960s Hollywood film–one that blurs the lines of fantasy and reality and throws Dark into the spotlight.
“Alibi” is a sultry tune that succumbs to boldly, unabashedly following love and lust, even against one’s better judgment. Written by songwriter Simon Oscroft (The Aces, UPSAHL) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys, Mac Miller), Dark shares the track, “came together in a day in LA. It’s inspired by the seductive pull of the forbidden and my habit of over-romanticizing situations and people–even bad ideas and toxic lovers. It’s an ode to that, a fantasy come to life.” It comfortably fits into the enigmatic, mystical sonic universe Dark has built, and neatly prepares a foundation for what may come from the artist.
