Alice June's Hey explores the emotional push and pull of life's pivotal moments.
Alice June's Hey: Finding Balance in Emotional Waves
Singer-songwriter Alice June closes her artistic chapter with her sixth single, Hey, released on December 27, 2024. The track delves into the internal struggle of wanting to act versus standing still, encapsulating the tension between taking leaps of faith and retreating to the comfort of solid ground.
Set against the metaphorical backdrop of an ocean, Hey beautifully portrays the emotional ups and downs of life, likening them to waves. The song’s climax—“Hey, I’m feeling good today, my lows are high now”—celebrates finding balance amidst the chaos.
Crafting Hey: A Collaborative Masterpiece
Alice June’s creative process combines personal introspection with global collaboration. Written in a single flow, the song was brought to life with contributions from world-class professionals:
Lorenzo Sebastiani (production, Imola and London)
Alex Reeves (collaborator with Bat for Lashes, Anna Calvi)
Chris Gehringer (mastering, Sterling Sound, New York)
Inspired by artists like Kate Bush, Florence + The Machine, and Birdy, Alice’s sound is an unmistakable blend of introspection and ethereal indie pop.
