Rising New York City pop artist ALESSA XO (also known as Alessa Aichinger) is back with a song as limitless as the universe. Her new single, "JUPITER," perfectly fuses atmospheric, intimate, and otherworldly sounds that draw you into the orbit of love's overpowering gravity. ALESSA XO is not just about her eclectic blend of genres; she focuses on storytelling. Whether through music, film, or potentially an upcoming book about life between continents, she is creating an artistic world that allows audiences to escape their everyday lives.
Written during the pandemic's hushed isolation, "JUPITER" contains equal measures of solitude and connection. On Coin & Allen's 'Social Atoms,' Weiss deejays as Lestrange sings and plays guitar in the duo, which is not quite a band. Alessa X0 sets her ideas to wax like personal magic that becomes universal, plucking a tune that feels out-of-body without being impersonal. Alternating between gauzy synths, cinematic textures, and her own intoxicating vocal delivery, the track's ever-shifting elements teeter between a weightless emotionality. The result is a listening experience that feels both fragile and mighty, much like love.
Its music video only compounds the craftsmanship of the song. Shot in her hometown of Klagenfurt, Austria, the visuals feature landmark local venues that supported her artistic ambitions. It's a bittersweet homecoming for an artist who has straddled her European roots and her American trajectory, living in New York City for more than a decade. Gaining attention around the world, ALESSA XO is emerging as one of her generation's most compelling independent voices. Including her now is to get the wave right as it's breaking. With "JUPITER," she doesn't just put out a song: she blasts off an entire world.
