Alice Auer has been on our radar for a while now, and it’s pretty obvious why when singles like “Greek Street” are being created. Created by Alice with help from long time friends Conor Albert, James Smith, and jazz musician Seth Tackaberry, “Greek Street” is a blissfully glorious, soul-tinged single from the offset.
Talking about the release, Alice says, “I wrote ‘Greek Street’ in a day with my lovely friend and very talented musician/ producer, James Smith. Story wise, ‘Greek Street’ was inspired by the first date my boyfriend and I went on together at Jazz After Dark in Soho, London. I wanted to create some contrast in the song emotionally and musically, so we wrote the lyrics from the perspective of someone who had that relationship, that experience, that romance—but lost it and longs to have it back. We then took the bones of the song to Conor and let him work his magic.”
“Greek Street” is out now via London tastemaker label Young Poet (Conor Albert, WOOZE). Auer’s second solo project is due for release later this year.
