New Artist Spotlight – Ten Years Of Solitude by Alya

by Aaron Mullins

Welcome back to another edition of New Artist Spotlight. We are taking a look at the album “Ten Years Of Solitude” by Alya.

Alya Michelson was born on Russia and has had a long road into the entertainment industry.  She currently resides in Los Angeles but in her own words, “As an immigrant and a woman I have something to say and and a unique perspective to bring to the table.”  I believe she does just that.

Track List

1. Animals

2. Seven

3. Half of the Sun

4. Heart Shaped Hole

5. Puppet Strings

6. Twenty-Six

7. Angel

8. Hachiko

9. Romano

10  Colorful Dreams

The stand out tracks are for sure “Heart Shaped Hole” and for me I truly enjoyed “Puppet Strings”. Alya’s style is often categorized as indie/pop but there seems to be an edge to it that makes it differ t than most indie/pop that I’ve encountered. There is a rawness to this record that is particularly pleasant.

Watch “Heart Shaped Hole”

This is an album that needs to be on your radar. It’s full of amazing tracks that will be sure to reinvigorate your love of indie music. Her tracks frequently have wonderful use of strings that add a wonderful element to the songs.

Styles: fusion, indie pop, folk
Similar To: Massive Attack, Tory Amos, Sia,

Rating: 9/10

I’m keeping this short and sweet. Just go check it out!
