Interview with Arlissa
We had the pleasure of interviewing Arlissa Zoom video!
In 2018, singer/songwriter Arlissa delivered her breakout hit \u201cHearts Ain\u2019t Gonna Lie,\u201d where she sings about the reality of truth always peeking through in life and love. It\u2019s something that\u2019s become the 26-year-old German-born, south London-bred artist\u2019s trademark, where her lyrics reflect a genuine authenticity that channels multiple dimensions of feeling.
At 15, she set foot in her first studio, though she would take the next few years of her life to perfect her artistry. Label interest was there, as Arlissa signed to a major UK label on the spot at 19, though the fit wasn\u2019t quite right. \u201cIn retrospect, it was the hastiest decision I ever made.\u201d Arlissa fell victim to marketing machines driving her in a different direction than she imagined.
In 2018 she earned her first Gold plaque penning the M-22 track \u201cFirst Time'' featuring Medina, as well as co-writing global phenomenon BTS\u2019s hit \u201cSpring Day\u201d\u2014the first ever K-Pop song to enter Billboard\u2019s Bubbling Under Hot 100 list\u2014where Arlissa\u2019s signature vocals are heard throughout the track. She reached a personal milestone being featured within the pages of Vogue and assisting in the scoring of the film The Hate U Give with her intoxicating song \u201cWe Won\u2019t Move\u201d on the movie\u2019s soundtrack.
Her inimitable vocals and keen sense of songwriting are front and center, more reminiscent of past legends, as Arlissa represents for the future of singer/songwriters. Arlissa linked with producers Martin Terefe (Mike Posner\u2019s \u201cI Took A Pill In Ibiza '') and Matt Schwartz (YUNGBLUD and Halsey ft. Travis Barker\u2019s \u201c11 Minutes' ') for the lead single \u201cRunning,\u201d a smooth track with an impactful story attached to it.
Trading ballads in for more varied tempos, Arlissa adds feeling to her lyrics with beats that can live anywhere: the car, the radio, the dance floor. Teaming with other producers like Jesse Shatkin (Sia\u2019s \u201cChandelier\u201d) and super producer No I.D. helped sharpen her vision for the project.
The result is a detailed musical journey where each song represents a different side of Arlissa and an intimate look at an artist who\u2019s been living her life in the fast lane.
