Album review
Alice Phoebe Lou has released a new single, ‘The World Above’. It marks the South Africa-born, Portugal-based singer-songwriter’s first single since 2023’s Shelter and comes alongside the news that she will be supporting Clairo on tour this fall. Listen below.
‘The World Above’ was recorded between Tropico Beauty in Los Angeles and Freedom Studio Infinity in Tokyo while on tour. It features David Parry on guitar, Dekel Adin on bass, and Ziv Yamin on drums and keys.
“This song feels like a hand reaching down and pulling me up from the abyss, helping me rise to the surface after a difficult time,” Phoebe Lou shared in a statement. “I wrote it in a moment of intense self-reflection as I began embracing who I am, loosening from the grips of addictions and feeling as though I am enough. It’s a celebration of self and acknowledgement of the paradox of our depths and darkness as well as our infinite lightness.”
