Alice Phoebe Lou shares 'The World Above' PLUS a tour with Clairo

South Africa-born, Portugal-based singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou today releases her first single since 2023’s critically acclaimed Shelter, “The World Above.” Along with an official video, this release is in tandem with the news of her North American tour this Fall supporting Clairo.

Recorded in between Tropico Beauty in Los Angeles and Freedom Studio Infinity in Tokyo while on tour, "The World Above" is not only geographically global, but universal in meaning. A self-reflective metaphor about looking up from underwater, Alice’s hopeful lyrics gain confidence alongside celestial keys and cascading guitars that lift each other along the way. Joined by David Parry on guitar, Dekel Adin on bass and Ziv Yamin on drums and keys, Alice maintains her commitment to artistic independence on this Parry produced track — Stream. 

“This song feels like a hand reaching down and pulling me up from the abyss, helping me rise to the surface after a difficult time,” shares Alice. “I wrote it in a moment of intense self-reflection as I began embracing who I am, loosening from the grips of addictions and feeling as though I am enough. It's a celebration of self and acknowledgement of the paradox of our depths and darkness as well as our infinite lightness.”

Announced earlier this week, Alice and her band will spend late September to early November out on the road with Clairo. In thoughtfully selected, intimate settings, both artists will have the chance to show off the depth of their artistry in the format that communicates it best. At the end of the tour run, Alice will play a headline show of her own at New York’s Brooklyn Steel — see all dates here.
