ALÍSI Confronts Love’s Poisonous Edge on New Single “Cyanide”

Hanna Kantor

Some songs arrive like a whisper, others like a warning. ALÍSI’s “Cyanide” manages to be both — a darkly magnetic alt-pop track where beauty and danger circle each other like smoke and flame. Produced by Blake Bigfoot (Porsh Bet$, Brent de la Cruz), the single layers moody guitars, distorted bass, and ALÍSI’s featherlight vocals into something at once intoxicating and unsettling.

“Cyanide is about choosing your mental health, even when it means walking away from something good. Sometimes even in a healthy relationship, you need space to face personal struggles alone, because staying might do more harm than good.”

For London-born artist with Brazilian and Portuguese roots — the track continues her journey into alt-pop terrain rich with cinematic tension. Following her striking debut Trace Ur Outline (a release championed by BBC Radio 1), “Cyanide” marks the second chapter in a two-part EP that promises both intimacy and experimentation.

Fans of The Japanese House, Sevdaliza, and Billie Eilish will find echoes of that same haunting vulnerability here, but ALÍSI stands firmly in her own lane: crafting music that lingers like a half-remembered dream, beautiful and bruised at once.
