Rising Indie Pop Artist Alice Moore Unveils New Single “Pressure” Ahead of Debut EP, The Waiting
Rising Canadian indie pop artist Alice Moore proudly announces the release of her new single “Pressure,” a powerful preview of her debut EP, The Waiting, arriving October 3, 2025. With her distinctive vocal timbre, intimate melodies, and evocative songwriting, Moore continues to establish herself as a compelling new voice in alternative indie pop.
Alice Moore’s career has been steadily gaining momentum since her debut single “Cigarettes” introduced audiences to her atmospheric style and lyrical depth. Growing up between Trois-Rivières and Drummondville, she developed a songwriting voice that draws on honesty, vulnerability, and emotional richness, weaving influences from indie traditions into something distinctly her own.
Her forthcoming EP, The Waiting, reflects years of dedication and collaboration. Recorded with her band – Samuel Lessard (guitar), Léandre Bourgeois (keys), Ismaël Chagnon (drums), and James Forest (bass) – the project carries the immediacy of live performance and the intimacy of late-night confessions. Together, they create soundscapes that echo the hazy allure of artists like Lana Del Rey and the emotional gravity of Radiohead, while remaining rooted in Moore’s unique perspective.
“Pressure” stands as one of the most personal and authentic tracks from the record. Moore shares, “This song stayed close to the vision I had when I first wrote it. It feels like the truest reflection of where I come from musically and emotionally.”
The single resonates with striking lyrical imagery. Moore sings: ‘“Pressure, pressure / Don’t put pressure on me / Silent, silent / I was gonna say it, but something’s keeping me silent.”‘ Later, her voice admits the fragility beneath the surface: ‘“I’ve been crying at the bar / Something feels off / Been trying to fill that void / Something’s broken, something’s broken.”‘ These lines invite listeners into her inner world with honesty and grace.
At the heart of “Pressure” is an exploration of emotional resilience. With lines like ‘“Been trying to keep it all / But something’s leaking, something’s leaking,”‘ Moore captures the tension between holding on and letting go, turning deeply personal moments into universally felt experiences.
The new single builds on the anticipation surrounding her EP release. Scheduled to premiere live today (October 3, 2025,) at Le Zaricot in Saint-Hyacinthe, the launch show will be a full-band performance designed to immerse audiences in Moore’s sound and storytelling. The event marks a milestone in her journey and offers fans the first opportunity to experience her music in its full live form.
Reflecting on the creative process, Moore explains,
“Recording this EP was about trusting my instincts and surrounding myself with people who understood the energy I wanted to capture. Every song, especially ‘Pressure,’ is meant to bring listeners closer to that shared moment of honesty.”
With “Pressure,” Alice Moore continues to define her artistic identity—introspective yet expansive, delicate yet powerful. Her work reflects a fearless embrace of vulnerability, connecting deeply with listeners who recognize themselves in her words and melodies.
As the holiday season approaches and the year closes, The Waiting promises to be a striking debut: a collection of songs that carry warmth, resonance, and authenticity.
