Today, New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based artist Alisa Xayalith prepares to unearth emotional depths with her new single “Roses.” This highly anticipated track, which marks her debut with Nettwerk, starts a new chapter in the solo career of The Naked and Famous frontwoman, offering a deeper dive into her cinematic, indie-electro-pop resonance.

On “Roses,” Xayalith invites listeners to embrace the messy beauty of love, the strength found in weathering storms together, and the unwavering hope for a brighter future. With its lush production and ethereal vocals, “Roses” is a captivating re-introduction of Alisa Xayalith, an artist poised to blossom.

“Roses” flourishes with a hopeful undercurrent, weaving a garden metaphor through its lyrical tapestry. Xayalith offers a poignant reflection on navigating challenges within a relationship by expressing, “Enduring a trying season with someone can help or hurt a situation. I think I’m a pessimistic optimist. My attempt at solving difficult circumstances involves blindly trusting that everything will be okay if I just wait it out and somehow find the silver lining. Believing good things do come to those who wait. Maybe this is hilariously millennial of me, but the idea of using a garden metaphor felt very natural when writing the lyrics for ‘Roses.’ I pictured myself digging up dirt, burying metaphorical fears, worries, troubles, the past, whatever it may be into the soil and for something beautiful to grow in its place, waiting until ‘everything’s coming up roses.’ I think it’s a beautiful thing to look back with someone and say, ‘Isn’t it crazy how we survived each other and made it through?’”

Alisa Xayalith continues to evolve as an artist, promising more new music to come this year.
