Alaïs, the Italian-New Zealander indie pop singer-songwriter, has released her latest single “New Lingerie,” a sensual and playful track that foreshadows her upcoming EP, I Could Care Less. This song marks her second release from the EP, set to drop in summer 2024. With “New Lingerie,” Alaïs explores the complexities of modern dating in London, offering a raw and honest confession to a crush.
The song captures the essence of being a young woman navigating the metropolitan dating scene, filled with half-truths and the need to “play it cool.”
Alaïs’ soulful lyrics and vocals provide a candid look into her experiences, highlighting the awkwardness and emotional challenges of casual dating for someone who easily forms attachments. The track is a departure from her previous slow, sentimental folk-acoustic style, moving towards an upbeat indie pop sound reminiscent of artists like Clairo and Carol Ades.
The lyrics of “New Lingerie” also reveal a vulnerable and playful side of Alaïs: “You’re dangerous goods babe, I’m weak in the knees / Think of sending you pictures in my New Lingerie / Cards on the table, I’m not good at this stuff / I just know that blonde hair, I wanna mess it all up”
Alaïs has been making a name for herself in the London music scene, performing at venues such as The Fiddler’s Elbow, Upstairs at the Ritzy, and Solar Sounds.
In 2023, she opened for Paris Paloma on her “Tiny Little Tour” and made her festival debut at TV Spenta dal Vivo in Italy. Her music is influenced by a diverse array of artists, including Norah Jones, Clairo, Lizzy McAlpine, Joni Mitchell, and Bruno Major.
As she continues to roll out music from her upcoming EP, Alaïs invites listeners to join her on this journey of self-discovery and emotional honesty. “New Lingerie” is available on all major streaming platforms, offering a glimpse into the vibrant and introspective world of this rising artist.
