ALCHA is the performing name of Paris, France-based singer songwriter, composer and producer Alec Chassain. With a background as a pianist and drummer, he creates music that runs the genre-gamut of pop, R&B, jazz and neoclassical. I’ve just discovered him thanks to his recent single Nowhere To Go.

Opening with dreamy, trippy electronica, Nowhere To Go quickly hits a cantering pop stride. Alec’s soft and charismatic vocals then come in, completing a gentle, yet danceable soundscape. It’s the kind of track that will have your heart feeling while your head is also nodding along.

Alec has been performing as ALCHA since late 2021, using the vehicle to share his own brand of introspection and melancholia. I’m excited to hear more from him, and I hope you’ll agree. You can check out Nowhere To Go below.
