Both "pick me up" and "run away girl" will feature on the upcoming HERON EP along with three new tracks. Alice explains the idea behind the project:
“When I first visited London, one of the first things I saw was a heron. I sat at the Barbican, in the middle of the night, and watched as these beautiful, majestic birds grazed in the water. It was around this time where I started writing again, not for a specific purpose but just writing about what was going on at the time. It was a new city, with new people and new impressions, and most importantly, it is the city I always dream of living in.
I felt like herons symbolised the city and everything I felt perfectly - a representation of self-reflection and transition. This past year has been one of the biggest transitions I have had in a very long time, but everywhere I went, I kept finding so much beauty and serenity in the strangest of places, and in the few special encounters I had the privilege of making. This inspired me to write and reflect on so many feelings I was going through, and instead of talking about them, I decided to just write them down in these songs.”
In addition to Jonny Coffer, Alice’s collaborators on HERON include James Dring (Lana Del Rey, Self Esteem), Nick Hahn (Sigrid, IVE), Tobias Kuhn (DYLAN, Milky Chance) and her long-term co-writer Paul Whalley ('Charlie Brown', 'Waste My Life'). Alice’s two studio albums, MINT and S.I.D.E.S., have accumulated over a billion streams and three million sales, while her international profile has seen her perform on the big US talk shows (Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel) and star as a coach on the German edition of The Voice.
Alice recently announced details of a North American headline tour, and strong demand for tickets resulted in the opening date in Washington rapidly selling out, the Seattle show being upgraded after just a day, and New York also set to sell-out in the coming days. The tour will be her first time back in the States since touring as special guest to Bastille in 2022. Plans for an upcoming European headline tour are also in the works after last year’s sold-out London show at the Islington Assembly Hall, while another highlight of 2023 came with a stadium show as guest to P!NK.
