#NewMusic: Ré Alissa Blends Varying Elements of R&B to Explore the Cycle of Love on ‘Falling’ EP

Inspired by influential acts such as Brandy, Aaliyah and Destiny’s Child, rising artist Alissa has released her new EP, “Falling,” combining 90s music feel with modern music concepts.

Ré Alissa’s five-track EP takes listeners on a ride of a relationship cycle of exploring different emotions and experiences that come with love while blending various elements of R&B on the different tracks.

Each track on Ré Alissa’s “Falling” EP is unique based on the lyrics and production, which helps progress the multiple stories in each song like a chapter in a book.

This uniqueness has helped Ré Alissa garner recognition from music heavyweights like Toni Braxton, Babyface and Bootsy Collins.

“Falling” Tracklist:

  1. LOUD
  2. Falling
  3. MOVIE
  4. Good Bye
  5. Save Me

“Loud” is a song Ré Alissa says is “for when you’ve been done dirty but you get the last word,” while the ending song, “Save Me,” is “a song for when you find the love you’ve been dreaming of.”

Ré Alissa’s previous single “Movie” earned itself placements on popular Spotify playlists such as “New Wave R&B” and “Fresh Finds R&B.”

As Ré Alissa continues to rise on the scene, the genre-blending, storytelling that she creates promises to be a testament to her artistry.
