Alternative singer-songwriter Alexa Dark shares her new single “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 judgement. Written with 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.
Raised between Barcelona, London, and NYC, Alexa Dark began writing songs and poetry from an early age influenced by an eclectic range of artists from Portishead to Françoise Hardy to Nancy Sinatra. She creates a genre-defying sound that fuses cinematic grandeur, evocative lyricism, and haunting vocals.
