“For Forever” by Alas de Liona is a beautiful drop that transcends face-value immortality, as seen through the eyes of a brooding vampire. Fusing her own indie-pop instincts with the kind of cinematic depth that allows an artist to live in a world entirely of their design, the single offers up something at once ethereal and emotionally rooted, and the perfect mood for what is heralded as her favorite time of year.
Alas’s distinguishing vocals move with poetic poise and are refined but tinged with introspection. What can only be described as a wistful tenderness rests in her voice, drawing you into the romance of immortal life and love.
Born in the Mojave Desert and currently based in Edinburgh, Alas de Liona draws on her transatlantic roots for her art, weaving a tale that falls somewhere between the storytelling prowess of Joni Mitchell and the fragility of Phoebe Bridgers. Her songwriting continues to be her most potent weapon, highly imaginative, literary, and willfully personal.
“For Forever” serves as a glimpse of her new musical screenplay project, “Vespertina,” promising an artistic progression that blurs music and storytelling. With a Lost Boys-influenced 80s music video, penned and directed by Alas herself, the single now visually expands her artistic world to be lush, moody, and viscerally self-aware. “For Forever” is an environment where you can get lost in the graceful shadows of a forever love.
