Ali Beletic blows the conch shell on her new project Alivenique.
day one defined as meta-pop and planning on dropping a handful of singles in 2022, we’ve got the prelude on repeat.
Read what Ali says about the prelude:
In my mind, when I was writing the song, I was traveling to an underground Brazilian loft party, where mishaps are happening all over the place, and it’s perfectly human, festive and a total party. It has a meta-quality to it, in that it was written lyrically as a conversation with the audience, but when we listen to songs, we often hear the singer as ourselves. I love that breakdown of being able to write in the sphere between fiction, myth, and personal narrative and journalism. I think it’s a journey we are all on and all in on. So that power of choice of your own narrative is certainly built into this song, and into the entire record.
It’s about the intersection of our own self-power to create our own narrative, at any given moment. I’m really into human excellence, and I think attention is at the core here. That said, I wish I had the budget to direct a video of the Brazilian loft dance party, because I’d like to go there right now and celebrate with all my friends and the whole world truly. And I’d like to share that world, so hopefully it will make everyone get up and dance for what they have to dance about.
