Alessi Rose – Same Mouth
Today, fast-rising breakout artist Alessi Rose makes her Capitol Records debut with “Same Mouth” — an electrifying new single spotlighting the self-made star’s no-filter lyrics and high-level artistry.
The start of a thrilling new era for the London-based 22-year-old, “Same Mouth” is the first song released from her forthcoming EP Voyeur, out July 25th.
Produced by Josh Scarbrow (Arlo Parks) and Sam De Jong (Gracie Abrams, Lennon Stella), “Same Mouth” arrives as a glorious introduction to Voyeur’s unabashed and candidly detailed storytelling. As Alessi explains, the guitar-driven track surfaced from a moment of pure frustration with the emotional torment of no-strings-attached relationships.
Said Alessi, “‘Same Mouth’ is me confronting the hypocrisy of an ambiguous relationship but it’s also about the abandonment of self and the idea that if I’m aware of what I’m getting myself into, then maybe I’m not the victim, and maybe I’m actually in control.”
Built on her magnetic vocal work, “Same Mouth” embodies a bright and soaring sound inspired by the cinematic indie-pop of 2000s-era teen-movie soundtracks. In a brilliant contrast to the song’s carefree energy, Alessi reveals her willingness to shine a light on the darkest parts of her psyche (from the chorus: “It’s kinda masochistic/I’ll hurt myself so you fix it/Say you’re not down/But you kiss me with the same mouth”). Both sensitive and fiercely self-possessed, Alessi ultimately channels desperation, anger, and all-consuming desire with an unforgettable emotional impact.
Made with leading producers like John Hill (Cage the Elephant, Carly Rae Jepsen) and Sammy Witte (Halsey, SZA), Voyeur brings an even bolder vision and greater self-assurance to Alessi’s stream-of-consciousness brand of alt-pop — fully delivering on her recently stated intentions to be “outrageously myself.”
“In my EP Voyeur, the voyeurism is twofold, explains Alessi. The audience becomes a voyeur of my innermost thoughts and feelings through the music, but additionally I am a voyeur of myself and my own, sometimes self-sabotaging, decisions. I wanted this EP to feel like the unfiltered version of events that you tell your closest friends and I feel like the bluntness and stream of consciousness lyrics reflect that. I don’t care how I’m perceived because I trust the listener.”
