Imagine if your favorite indie film, late-night dance party, and a European art house all had a baby, that’s Alessa XO. A multilingual singer-songwriter and actress with a flair for storytelling, she’s turning love, longing, and late-night emotion into club-ready anthems. With her latest single JUPITER, Alessa proves that pop doesn’t just make you move, it can make you feel every cosmic pull of the heart.
Alessa’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Fluent in four languages and holding three academic degrees, she built her career completely independently, establishing herself from the ground up in every city she’s called home, even in New York City, where she arrived with no connections and carved her path purely through perseverance, talent, and vision.
Along the way, she’s headlined the world-renowned World Bodypainting Festival with her self-penned anthem “We Are One”, delivered haunting releases like “Neverland”, and worked with a network of producers and DJs across Europe and the U.S. Her artistry extends beyond music, with acting projects in film and television now in development, and even a potential book that will chronicle her life navigating two continents as a fiercely independent creative.
Now, Alessa XO invites us into her most celestial chapter yet with her latest single, “JUPITER.” Written during the stillness of the pandemic, the track explores the gravitational pull of love and longing, emotions so powerful they feel larger than life itself. Lush production and atmospheric layers elevate her emotive vocals, creating a soundscape that feels tailor-made for both the intimacy of headphones and the euphoria of a club night. The track is equal parts pop and EDM, with an emotional undercurrent that turns a dance anthem into something unforgettable.
Lyrically, “JUPITER” compares the overwhelming nature of love to the giant planet’s gravity, weaving together themes of passion, vulnerability, intimacy, and distance. Alessa’s acting background adds another dimension, her delivery carries cinematic nuance, as though each line is performed with intention and character. It’s not just a song, it’s a performance, a story, and an emotional journey wrapped into one.
The accompanying music video, filmed at the breathtaking Wörthersee in Austria, is just as striking. Featuring famous landmarks, the visuals mirror the expansiveness of the track, capturing both the intensity of love’s closeness and the ache of its distance. It’s a visual poem that brings her artistic vision to life.
Speaking about the song, Alessa shares:
“I hope listeners feel the gravity of love in all its intensity, the beauty, the longing, the vulnerability, and are reminded of the power of connection, even when we feel distant from each other.”
“JUPITER” is more than just another single, it’s a declaration that Alessa XO is here to leave her mark as one of the most compelling independent voices of her generation. From writing every lyric herself, self-financing her career, and collaborating with an international team of creatives, to preparing new acting projects and future brand partnerships, Alessa is the rare artist who brings her full self to every medium.
At its core, this track is the ultimate pop-EDM record, a record that makes you feel, think, and dance all at once. It’s the kind of record that creates memories, a soundtrack for both late-night escapes and quiet moments of reflection. With “JUPITER,” Alessa XO takes us not just to another world, but closer to understanding her own.
