‍" Kita kabeh minangka kupu-kupu sing muncul saka cocoon. Kehidupan nyedhiyakake pengalaman-pengalaman beda-beda sing kelanjutan nyedhiyakake diri nyata kita. Sepanjang jalan, kita ketemu jiwa-jiwa sing ngrefleksi cahaya utawa bayang-bayang kita, nyimpen kita menyang penyembuhan lan esensi asli kita. Iki metamorphosis dadi makhluk unik karo tujuan sing unik lan alasan kanggo eksistensi. Perjalanan iki, nanging menantang, nyambung kita karo esensi kita lan basa nyata kita, love"

Roots is the first chapter of the album. With birdsong, melodic acoustic riffs, and echoey windlike instrumentals, 'Almita mia' opens the storybook that is this album. Written for the artist’s mother, this song expresses the purpose she’s found through her family. Following this, 'De Tu Mano' is a slow, folksy song with repetitive refrains and gentle steel guitar. Layered vocals blend with the instrumentals for a heavenly, dreamy tone. It explores the kind of love that encourages personal evolution. 'Mondero' is a song with a more indie edge to it, with electric guitar and the heavy beating of drums cradling ALETHIA's angelic voice. It reflects a first-time love and the evolution of relationships.

Nostalgia comes next, introducing 'To You'. This song features a suspenseful guitar riff, pounding drums, and a flourish of electronic beats to add an unexpected twist and capture the feeling of a well-established love unravelling. Then, 'Utopia' is coloured by horns, keys, and light, lilting vocals, that feels like an intimate conversation. Slowing things down is 'Once More', the bonus track, a jazzy number, evoking a sense of a singer in a bar dreaming of becoming a star, symbolising a new beginning, breaking away from old rules.

The penultimate act is Love, bringing a duo of songs. 'Don’t Let Me Down' is twinkling 140BPM Dub and electronic pop - a sultry, intimate love letter to herself; and 'Physical Form' a high-energy Drum & Bass tune, is an ode to physical love and expression through physical connection.

The finale is Hope, two songs drawing the album to a close. 'Falling' is packed with slow guitar jams and wistful vocals, the ebb and flow of the tune reflecting the ebb and flow of the universe. Finally, 'Oh Darling' is a demonstration of her singing style and incredible range, emotional and lovely, ending the album on an ethereal high. This song organically echoes a sound reminiscent of Pink Floyd.

Join ALETHIA on her journey through emotion in her self-titled debut album, which will be released on July 26. Then, on August 2 it will be launched at Melbourne's prestigious Athenaeum Theatre.
