Alisa Xayalith has delivered another taste of what’s still to come on her debut solo EP, with new single Superpowers out today.

A gorgeous and gentle indie-folk leaning song, which builds to a swirling anthemic crescendo, Superpowers sees Alisa wearing her heart on her sleeve and sharing an insight into the journey that’s taken her from being the front-woman of one of New Zealand’s most famous musical exports, The Naked and Famous, to now releasing music on her own steam.

“Overcoming your fears can feel like a superpower to become your best self,” explains Alisa. “I wrote this about pushing through my own self imposter syndrome to do with the pursuit of my solo project. I feel like I became my best self, stepping into being the leader of my songs and getting them to the finish line.”

It’s the third single from the award-winning artist, who first made her mark in The Naked and Famous as she ramps up to the release of her EP, also titled Superpowers, out on November 18. Pre-save HERE

“I have spent the last few years just dreaming of completing this song and my EP. There were countless times when I doubted myself and thought I’d never finish my first body of work,” says Alisa.

Superpowers, and indeed all the songs that make up the soon-to-be released EP, reflect a side of Alisa that has seldom been seen or heard – vulnerable and standing alone in her own power.
