Nesianetwork.id - Beloved Adelaide singer-songwriter aleksiah is back with a heartfelt message to her younger self in the form of “24”. aleksiah has taken what was originally a dark and pessimistic track and transformed it into a playful dig at her old self, serving as a hopeful reminder that things do get better.
“24 was written at a time where I felt a lot of jealousy and self-loathing. I had just turned 22 and felt miles behind all of my peers. I was yet to share any of my music in fear of rejection, but instead of trying to improve my life and gain confidence, I wrote a song that called myself out on my cynical outlook,” aleksiah shared.
“24” marks aleksiah’s change of mindset with an uptempo pace and shimmering pop instrumentals. Battling societal expectations that deter so many young people chasing their dreams, aleksiah captures the feeling of constantly trying to catch up but always being two steps behind. Revisited with a fresh perspective, “24” is the reminder we all need to stop being so hard on ourselves, enjoy the process and have faith in what the future holds.
She says “I turn 24 this year, and I think like the song says, I finally have my shit together. I want this song to bring hope to people, just like it did to me.”
Fans and industry alike have been all about aleksiah since her debut single “Fern”, with triple j handpicking her as their Unearthed choice for the Wayville edition of Groovin the Moo 2023 and adding singles “Ant Song” and “Pretty Picture” to full rotation. Named as the 6th most played triple j unearthed artist of 2023 and one of Vogue Australia’s ‘6 Australian musicians set to take over in 2024’, aleksiah has well and truly made an impression.
