ALICE PHOEBE LOU ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM OBLIVION

The honeyed voice of pen-to-paper genuinity, Alice Phoebe Lou, today announces that her sixth album Oblivion will be released on October 24 via Nettwerk Music Group. A personal library of previously unheard music, the upcoming record is a stripped back look into Lou’s exploration both globally and internally, her first album since 2023’s Shelter — PRE-SAVE

She shares, “After five band records, I’ve opened my treasure chest of personal storytelling songs that I’ve built up over a decade. Songs that didn’t make it into other albums, some songs I never thought would see the light of day. I embarked on the brave and thrilling journey of recording these songs as they are, with love and playfulness, simple and all my own. Leaning into imperfection and taking inspiration from some of my biggest influences who have made timeless folk acoustic albums.”

Along with the news of the upcoming album, today also sees the release of the new, self-confident single “Pretender.” Commending herself for finding strength in her softness and never compromising on who she is, even when it would be easier to be someone else, Lou is seeing her authenticity pay off. Even if that’s something that her fans have championed in her writing all along, this is the moment where she can feel it in her own heart.

Lou describes the single as, “A loving ode to my younger self — reflecting on who I am and how hard I’ve worked to love her. The way I once used confidence as a shield to mask my insecurities has transformed into allowing my walls to come down as I can finally bask in who I am without the fear of being seen.”

So far from the upcoming album, Lou has also released  “You and I,” “The Surface” and “Old Shadows.” These are her first-ever self-produced releases, ushering in an era hallmarked by stripped-back instrumentation that allows her storytelling to take the forefront.

In the Spring, Lou also played 3 sold-out nights at The Lodge Room in Los Angeles before joining Remi Wolf at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Now with her European tour wrapped up after playing magical sold-out shows across the continent, she is getting ready to come back to North America for a run of shows with her other musical endeavor strongboi, in support of Men I Trust. In 2024, Lou toured alongside Clairoon the strikingly intimate Charm Tour with headline shows of her own mixed in. See all upcoming dates here.
