  Following a stellar breakout year that saw the release of his dark-pop debut album INSOMNIAC, Belgian artist Alessio sits down to discuss turning anxiety into art, the power of honesty, and what it takes to step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight. Tori: You spent years songwriting for others before stepping into the spotlight yourself. What was the specific moment or catalyst that made you realize you were finally ready to make your own mark as a solo artist? ALESSIO: The turning point came when I was close to landing a major role and realized that I simply didn't feel the sting of 'rejection' anymore. I truly believe that every rejection is a redirection. I reached a point where I refused to let my creative worth or my dreams depend on the validation of industry gatekeepers or audition panels. Instead, I began attending songwriting workshops, where I met incredible artists and built a strong network in a very short time. That journey led me to my producer,...

 Aaron J. Burke’s "Day By Day" is a raw, introspective dive into the exhaustion of modern life and the gritty reality of burnout. Trading polished optimism for a stream-of-consciousness journal style, the track opens with a blunt admission of feeling despondent and introduces the recurring phrase "Goodbye brain" as a brilliant, slightly tragicomic shorthand for mental exhaustion and dissociation. Instead of offering grand promises or immediate fixes, the emotional core of the song lies in its mantra-like chorus: "Day by day, week by week / I’ll try again”.
