Aliénore – Paradise Lost
“The lyrics and vocals -aliénore- In this acoustic track, it resembles a dialogue of consciousness with the outside world. You soar in the open spaces of the serene star, fly over the black blue mysterious ocean, such indomitable and, at the same time, soothing. Before you is not just music, in front of you is an immense stream of waves of human emotions. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Лирика и вокал -Aliénore- в этом акустическом треке напоминает диалог сознания с окружающим миром. Вы парите на просторах безмятежной звёздной дали, пролетаете над чёрной синевой таинственного океана, такого неукротимого и, одновременно, успокаивающего. Перед вами не просто музыка, перед вами безмерный поток волн человеческих эмоций.”

Aliénore is a French-British singer & songwriter living in Berlin whose music can be described as “witchy” pop, with notes of folk & indie influences. By layering ethereal vocals with synth lines, enchanting guitar sounds & words written both in English and French, Aliénore's music pulls the listener into a dreamy soundscape with depth, rawness and sensibility.
“Paradise Lost” invites you into a dreamy world depicting a dystopic heaven and hell landscape which the listener glides through, “lured” in by ethereal & entrancing vocals, layered with synth lines, enchanting guitar and haunting lyrics.
Lyrically, Aliénore’ cheekily presents her own thoughts on the human condition and includes a subtle nod to writer Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’. She sings: “Droplets on dusty darkened meadows, you found your way in…..Hades knows your place in the Paradise Lost”
Aliénore says on the single, “Paradise Lost is a sonic representation of an otherworldly landscape that came to me, channelling my musings on life and mortality. The lyrics are highly descriptive, taking the listener on a journey into the unknown.”
Having grown up in rural South West France to British parents, Aliénore writes lyric-driven, vulnerable and introspective songs exploring themes of nature, duality, heritage, love, the feminine and the human condition.
Her training in classical choirs throughout her youth highly influences her bewitching soprano voice, and her penchant for medieval & period music shines through in luscious harmonies and melodies that bring hope to any darkness.
Highly inspired by nature, her mixed heritage and upbringing in the countryside, her songs beckon the listener into a vulnerable and dreamy sonic space.
