She’s moving towards the light...
Alice Costelloe has unveiled her new song ‘How Can I’.
This talented songwriter has been on our radar for quite a while, with CLASH tracking Alice Costelloe’s journey from her time with Big Deal to her blossoming solo career.
Her upcoming album ‘Move On With The Year’ is set to release on February 6th, reflecting on her troubled childhood and her father's struggles with substance abuse.
The album, produced by Mike Lindsay (known for his work with Laura Marling and Anna B Savage) in his studio in Margate, is preceded by the enchanting new single ‘How Can I’.
Confronting unsettling realities, the lyrics portray Alice reaching towards the light, ultimately discovering acceptance.
She shares…
“When I was wrapping up the song, I came across a quote from Feist that said, ‘When you say something or sing something enough times, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy – it’s almost like casting spells.’ It made me reflect on the experience of performing songs filled with sorrow, night after night, and whether those were the kinds of spells I wanted to cast…”
“So I included the line ‘I am good, I’m enough, I’m surrounded by love’. I realize it might sound overly sentimental, but I wanted a moment in the set that could balance out the darker themes of the album and bring forth something more uplifting.”
Tune in now.
Alice Costelloe is scheduled to perform at the Shacklewell Arms in London tonight (January 7th) in support of War Child.
