For a smooth start to the week, hit the play button.
The Dutch soulstress Alice Aera just released her debut album Between Spaces (read our review) and it is a project you should definitely soak up into fully - 8 songs with warm, introspective & slow-burner vibes exploring different aspects of love.
One of the upfront singles "Stuck On You" is "an emotionally charged ballad that captures the complexity of love and longing." A heartbeat-like rhythm, melancholic pads & sincere lyricism tell the story of "the beauty, the pain, the bliss, and the despair" that come with romance.
If this is the future of r&b, we're in good hands.
