Alle The Dreamer
Toronto, ON-based artist and songwriter Alle The Dreamer has unveiled her single, “Lonely Hallucinations,” via Set Records.
Produced and co-written with Derek Hoffman (RALPH, Grae, Caveboy, The Arkells), “Lonely Hallucinations” is a song about feeling stuck and struggling to let go and make peace with it.
“I wrote this song about being stuck in between the past and the present. It’s a break up song about my inability to see clarity and wanting peace,” Alle shares. “Feeling paralyzed in my decisions and constantly reliving memories from the past. I also have this deep fear of making mistakes and then regretting them in the future. So it was kind of like all of these mixed feelings that were coming up. You know when someone is talking to you, but you’re just somewhere else, lost in a memory? Yeah that’s Lonely Hallucinations. It’s about all the thoughts and memories that live in your head that no one knows about.”
Alle established herself in the local music scene early on, writing and recording with collaborators in Toronto, LA, and London. Among them; Samuel Gerongco (Alessia Cara), Bram Inscore (BTS, Andy Grammer), Jeff Shum (John Legend, Camila Cabello), Dayyon Alexander (Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa), and Negin Djafari (Drake). Alle has also accumulated numerous credits, including as a featured artist on DVBBS’ single “Wicked Ways” and Morgan Page’s “Beautiful Disaster” and as a co-writer for Little Mix’s ‘F.U’ (from the 5x platinum album Glory Days), two singles for K-POP superstar Suho, and Baby Ariel’s 2019 track “I Heart You.”
Despite these successes, at one point, Alle stopped making music and stopped singing altogether, as music became more of a chore than something she derived pleasure from. She missed making music for the fun of it and decided she needed to take time away and focus inward. Over time and some deep reflection, she realized that creating music doesn’t have to answer to other people’s expectations – what’s important is writing from the heart.
Review
There’s something special about listening to a song from a new artist and being able to support them from the start. It makes me giddy. So when I heard about Alle The Dreamer and her debut single, “Lonely Hallucinations,” I was all in.
The track starts with a sparkly beat, joined by Alle’s captivating yet soothing vocals.
The lyrics, “I’m getting tired of living on rewind, Oh my god, All my friends keep telling me it’s gonna take time,” speaks of living in the past and wanting to move on with your life. As the song continues, Alle’s vocals get slightly more lively, and the lyrics show progress, such as “Fast forward getting old now, two kids and a home now, Found someone who holds me like the way you use to.”
Alle’s debut single, “Lonely Hallucinations,” is a relatable track that will resonate with many listeners, plus its mellow, easy-listening vibe pulls you in, and once you’re there, you’re in for a treat. I can’t wait to hear what else Alle The Dreamer has to unveil to the world.
