Following the release of the deeply personal single ‘Peaches’, as well as her support dates with Goldfrapp at London’s Royal Festival Hall and the UK release of ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore’, in which Alison reprised her role as Queenie Goldstein, ‘Meteor Shower’ is the second single taken from Alison’s forthcoming album ‘Still Come The Night’.

There are the songwriters who wait until a life-changing event happens, before disappearing to inject their entire soul into their work. When Alison began writing ‘Still Comes the Night’, she knew that she wanted to make an album about the different stages of what she was going through. The upcoming album spans the emotions of her journey, from the intensity and thrill of love, to the trepidatious excitement and unknowns of pregnancy, and everything surrounding grief and loss. For Alison the life changing event was her pregnancy ending, which resulted also in a dramatic shift in herself; the instant loss of a life path that she had only moments ago been on.

Driven by a gently propulsive groove, ‘Meteor Shower’ takes the early morning light to capture a distinctive mood of a specific moment in time: the morning after the loss. Written “the morning after the worst night – says Alison, “we were empty, exhausted, numb, yet the early morning light was so soft, the hills blue with frost…impossibly still, so quiet. Even in the depths of grief, I was struck by the beauty of where we were”. An infinite beat, spoken word vocals and pulsing synths take centre-stage in this compelling slice of folktronica.

Alison thinks of ‘Still Come The Night’ as an album for everyone to listen to and connect with, one that’s open and giving in its emotions; she thought about the vast weight of grief that people have carried over these past two years: isolation, fear, sadness, illness, loss of time, and the ensuing rush to resume normal life, without enough opportunity for processing it all. ‘Meteor Shower’ is the album’s poetic finale, book ending the equally hypnotic opener, ‘Bone Tired’.

“It felt like an ending piece, but it also felt like the beginning of something else. Weirdly, even in the moment it didn’t just feel like an ending – there felt like a lot of openness beyond it, the sense of dawn and space and breathing. ‘Now we are here / And now it is now’ is the ending of the record, like ‘this is where we go from’,” explains Alison.
