AVNMEDIA.ID -  Singaporean singer-songwriter and producer ALICIA DC is stepping into a bold new era with the release of her debut album WANNA KISS, a project that fuses dance-pop production, alternative pop textures, and emotionally raw songwriting.

The album marks a significant evolution in her sound, as she transitions further into high-energy dance-pop while still holding on to the intimate, introspective storytelling that has defined her earlier releases.

Known for her sharp contrast between catchy production and brutally honest lyrics, ALICIA DC has steadily built her identity through genre-crossing projects—ranging from acoustic ballads to trap-infused pop and experimental alternative sounds.

Following her debut EP Maybe (2022) and singles such as Circles (2024), WANNA KISS represents her most fully realized pop statement to date.

A Comic Book-Inspired Pop Universe

Visually and conceptually, WANNA KISS draws inspiration from the cult classic Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, reimagining ALICIA DC as a comic-style protagonist navigating a surreal blend of reality and fantasy.

Neon aesthetics, pixel-art influences, and exaggerated digital-world imagery frame the album as more than just a music release—it becomes a narrative universe where emotions feel amplified, chaotic, and hyper-stylized.

Behind the bright production, however, the album stays grounded in everyday emotional experiences—relationships, insecurity, overstimulation, and even simple moments like deciding what to eat for lunch. Instead of escapism, dance music here becomes a reflection of internal noise and emotional processing.

Tracklist: 8 Songs of Emotional Chaos & Dance Energy

The album features eight tracks:

• WANNA KISS
• IDM
• TSUNDERE
• LEAF
• SECRET
• SAY UR MY TYPE
• INTROVERT
• STOMACH

Each track expands ALICIA DC’s signature style—balancing vulnerability with playful, synth-driven production.

Rising Momentum Across Southeast Asia

The release follows a strong run of live performances, including Singapore Arts Week 2025, Light to Night Festival 2025, and AXEAN Festival 2025 in Bali, where ALICIA DC performed alongside emerging Southeast Asian acts.

These appearances further cement her position as one of the region’s rising alt-pop voices with a growing cross-border presence.
