Produced by 4x GRAMMY® Award-nominee Pop Wansel (Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Kehlani, Alessia Cara), Happy Perez (Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, Halsey, Camila Cabello), and Sam Harris of X-Ambassadors, who also co-wrote the song, “Overwhelmed” was shared as an unreleased demo at Alicia’s live shows throughout the year, including Calgary Stampede and the COLORSxSTUDIOS show in NYC this past May.
“Overwhelmed” follows her recent release, “Merry Go Round,” produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Elkan, best known for his work on “NOKIA” by Drake. These releases follow last year’s breakthrough single “Bleeding Me Dry,” available alongside an official music video streaming HERE. Produced by Pop Wansel (Lizzo, Kehlani) and co-written by Taylor Hill (Drake, Justin Bieber, Summer Walker), the track has earned close to 10M worldwide streams, having originally debuted as a stunning live performance video created exclusively for unique aesthetic music platform COLORS, now boasting close to 1.5M views HERE. The Montreal, QC-native then made her network TV debut with an acclaimed performance of “Bleeding Me Dry” as part of the prestigious #LateShowMeMusic series on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, streaming HERE.
2024 also saw the arrival of Creti’s deeply moving debut EP, Self/Less, available now HERE. The 7-track project, which chronicles the gifted songstress’s own personal journey of self-discovery, includes such fan favorites as “Epiphany,” “Crazy,” “Congratulations,” and the powerful title track, the latter hailed by UPROXX as “a moving and eloquently honest ballad that details the unintended effects of being selfish toward one’s desires.” In addition, Creti also contributed the tender “No Better” to the award-winning Netflix animated feature film, Ultraman: Rising, streaming HERE.

With her elegant, commanding vocals and humbly confident songwriting, Alicia Creti skillfully weaves a tapestry of self-reflection, heartbreak, and the myriad facets of the human experience, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the pages of her personal journal. Her sound is a breath of fresh air, transcending genre boundaries with a compelling touch of nostalgic soul. Hailing from the suburbs of Montreal, Creti started to sing at barely three years old and hasn’t stopped since. Inspired by artists such as Rihanna, Beyonce, Brandy, and Stevie Wonder, she began penning songs of her own by the age of six and soon developed chops on both the piano and on the microphone, taking advantage of every opportunity to perform, whether it be at school or in the street.
In 2020, Creti began posting on social media and immediately achieved viral impact with versatile covers that earned more than 6M views around the world. She made her official debut with 2022’s “Congratulations,” garnering over 3M global streams and critical applause from Lyrical Lemonade as “a flawless masterpiece.” Creti’s star continued to ascend with an ongoing series of original tracks, including her Atlantic Records debut single, “Strange,” which has earned over 8M worldwide streams and close to 4.5M YouTube views since its 2023 release.
Creti celebrated the breakthrough success of Self/Less and “Bleeding Me Dry” with a series of live performances, including a North American tour alongside Mahalia that saw her winning over new fans and social media followers with each stop on the 24-city run. Now, with “Merry Go Round” – and more soulful new music to follow – Alicia Creti is poised to show the world not only how far she has come but where she’s headed next.
