In a world where modern life hums with relentless urgency, Alix of Tomorrow emerges as a beacon of clarity with her shimmering new single, Noise. Released on April 25, 2025, this track doesn’t just add to the growing buzz around the rising French-born, Brussels-based artist — it elevates it. With Noise, Alix offers a dazzling yet poignant exploration of life under information overload, capturing a collective exhaustion and the desperate yearning for quiet in the age of constant connection.
From the very first synth pulse, Noise establishes its sonic identity — one that’s both expansive and intimate. Glitchy textures and cascading electronic layers create a digital dreamscape that pulses with energy, mirroring the ceaseless rhythm of city life. But within the mix, there’s a thread of vulnerability. Alix’s delicate voice floats above the chaos, guiding listeners through a world that feels both familiar and overwhelming. There’s a distinct tension in the production — a push and pull between motion and stillness, artificiality and authenticity — that perfectly mirrors the song’s thematic core.
The chorus, airy and haunting, lands like a whispered truth amid the storm: a plea to disconnect, to breathe, to feel something real. “Noise” isn’t just a song — it’s a sensory experience, built to resonate on both emotional and physical levels. There’s a meditative quality in how the melodies rise and fall, how harmonies slip in and out of focus, like signals through static. It’s cathartic, yet quietly defiant, a rebellion not with fire, but with softness and reflection.
Alix of Tomorrow (affectionately known as AOT among her growing fanbase) made waves with her debut single Butterfly earlier this year, a dreamy meditation on transformation and vulnerability. But while Butterfly felt like a soft sunrise, Noise is the neon night — electrified, introspective, and layered with complexity. With this second release, Alix proves she’s not just a fleeting spark; she’s building a universe, one where experimental electropop meets soul-searching lyricism and fearless emotional depth.
Lyrically, Noise reads like a confession — poetic yet sharp. Alix speaks not only to the personal struggle of being “always on” but taps into a broader societal fatigue. Every line feels ripped from a late-night scroll session, from the moment when notifications drown out real thoughts, from the hollow ache of distraction. And yet, in confronting the chaos, she finds beauty. The song doesn’t reject the modern world — it acknowledges it, critiques it, and seeks a way through it. That nuance is what sets Noise apart from typical commentary on digital burnout. It’s not didactic; it’s human.
The production, helmed by Alix herself alongside a small circle of collaborators, is where the song truly comes alive. There’s a meticulous attention to detail — each synth swell and rhythmic stutter feels intentionally placed to serve the emotional arc of the track. Influences from avant-garde electropop pioneers are woven through the track’s DNA, yet it’s distinctly Alix’s voice — figuratively and literally — that anchors it in something new. Think Imogen Heap meets Caroline Polachek, with a hint of FKA Twigs’ audacity.
And perhaps most strikingly, Noise arrives at a moment when its message feels urgent. As digital fatigue reaches a fever pitch, Alix of Tomorrow steps forward not with answers, but with empathy. Her music doesn’t try to solve the chaos — it simply acknowledges the weight of it, and offers a space to pause.
With Noise, Alix solidifies her place in the evolving landscape of electropop — not just as a stylistic innovator, but as a voice of emotional clarity. She’s crafting music that feels futuristic without losing its heart, deeply personal while universally resonant. If Butterfly hinted at her potential, Noise confirms it: Alix of Tomorrow is the sound of now — and what’s next.
