Premiere: Alisha Liston Is Going For The Home Run With Beautiful Illusion

With 3 singles out this year, Alisha Liston is aiming for a full-blown EP titled Beautiful Illusion.

Alisha wrote the striking EP as a means to encourage young individuals to keep on pushing and enduring all that is thrown at them. It is the soundscape to help them face any and all obstacles. However, she aims to shed light on those challenges and picture them as a beautiful illusion. In other words, these obstacles while painful can in fact be the incentive to push in our growth. By their power to make us stronger than ever, these hurdles maintain a certain level of beauty.

Beautiful Illusion is made up of six songs, plus a bonus track. Each song varies in tempo and form, keeping her fans on edge. Some of the records hold acoustic charm, while the rest are upbeat and cheerful ushering to a new sound. With this seductive myriad of soundscapes, Alisha Liston is telling a story—from the strife to the hope and everything else in between.

Her previously released single “Whose Definition,” which happens to be the second track of the EP, garnered more than 100K streams on Spotify.

Her airy and hypnotic demeanor lushes bright and optimistic vocals, as she covers a much-needed topic.

Neurolapse opens up buried feelings into a rebellious release “Fvck These Feelings”

Neurolapse

Neurolapse channel released feelings that had been held inside for too long with “Fvck These Feelings.” That emotional urgency also translates into the writing process itself, with some of the lyrics coming in the early hours of the morning and insisting on being put down. From there, it was developed into a track that turns personal emotional pressure into a collective experience for listeners.

What is interesting about the song is the tension between the emotional base it draws on and the freedom it seeks to create. The song is born of the difficulty of releasing painful feelings, but its effect is anything but restrained. The band wants the song to make listeners dance, shout along, and let go of the emotions they have been carrying. This gives “Fvck These Feelings” an intuitive quality, turning frustration and emotional exhaustion into an opportunity to let go.

Something is refreshing about the song’s directness. Instead of bottling up feelings and keeping them a secret, “Fvck These Feelings” celebrates the messy process of letting them out. It gives people a chance to identify what they’ve been holding on to, and a place to let it out. Neurolapse takes a tough internal experience and turns it into something energetic, expressive, and communal. This is a track designed not simply to be heard, but to be felt and released through movement.

KUILL unveils a testimony from the pain of memory on latest release “Last Night”

KUILL

KUILL‘s latest release, “Last Night” is a very human approach to memory. It is about those moments we only realize were important after they are already gone. This song is not about a specific event, but about growing up, about time passing and about people and places we once assumed would always be there. Its emotional core is born of the painful realization that a final moment rarely announces itself as it unfolds.

“Last Night” is subtle yet cinematic, letting KUILL’s signature voice do the heavy lifting in telling the story. His restrained vocal delivery creates space for the listener to bring his own memories. Its shimmering world can be the last evening before leaving home, a family holiday, or a carefree summer with childhood friends. The result is intimate, yet it doesn’t constrain the listener’s interpretation.

The artwork accompanying the piece enhances that feeling with broken reflections of KUILL, placing him between past and present. It’s the essence of the song: memories tend to fade with time and become less about the details of what happened and more about how those times made us feel. “Last Night” takes that quiet sadness and lets you sit with it.
