WATCH: Alice SK – ‘On The Road’

Having received acclaim from the likes of BBC 6Music’s Steve LaMacq, London-based alt-folk artist Alice SK has now unleashed new aspects of her musical spectrum with twisted music video for latest release ‘On The Road’. The song and video brilliantly tell the cautionary tale of a toxic relationship, taking us on an emotional rollercoaster as the cracks start to show. 

The scene is set with slow, soft keys and SK’s luscious, smokey vocals, but as song escalates around the emotional chorus – “Momma says he’ll take my heart, turn it to ash / I’m on the road…” – we begin to realise she is trapped. As the romance turns sour in the second verse, we’re able to feel her pain as the tempo increases when she battles with her inner voices and towards the realisation that “there’s no turning back” from the choices she has to make to regain her power.

Juxtaposing a lilting folk-strewn musicality with a hauntingly poignant raw emotion and sense of foreboding, ‘On The Road’ showcases Alice SK’s beautifully resonant lyrical storytelling perfectly.

PREMIERE: Alice SK – ‘Another Girl’s Man’

Following collaborations with Muca (L.A Salami, Los Bitchos) and Bossa Nova legend Roberto Menescal, songwriter Alice SK has now announced her debut EP, set for release later this year, and today shares the poignant first single.

Reflecting on feelings of love turning sour and the self-destructive tendencies this can evoke, ‘Another Girl’s Man’ combines lilting, blues-infused melodies with folk-strewn gentle strumming; a perfect musical soundscape providing the backdrop for Alice’s sweeping, emotion-rich vocals. Oozing a sparkling grace and soulful splendour, it’s a twinkling heartfelt ballad that’ll soothe the ears and calm the mind with its stirring, effervescent charm.

‘Another Girl’s Man’ is produced by Muca. Of the collaboration, Alice SK comments:

“I’ve been writing for years and it never really crossed my mind to get involved with others on the writing side of things; but when I heard a few of Muca’s other projects and his ideas for the demos that I showed him, I thought it could be a great combination of our two sounds and I’m hoping that that comes across in the tracks too.”

Listen to ‘Another’s Girl’s Man’ for the first time here:

‘Another Girl’s Man’ is out tomorrow, 15th July, and is taken from Alice SK’s upcoming debut EP, set for release later this year.
