Singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Alina Ly returns with her most personal release to date: ‘Shoebox’, the breathtaking title track from her highly anticipated debut album, arriving later this year.
An evocative blend of folk-pop, cinematic soul, and alternative pop, ‘Shoebox’ showcases the signature sound Alina has become known for – haunting vocals, warm analog textures, and fearless emotional storytelling. Self-produced and arranged by Alina herself, the track is a quiet triumph, drawing listeners into a reflective dreamscape where memory and melody intertwine.
Built around gentle acoustic guitar, ambient piano, and ethereal guitar layers, ‘Shoebox’ unfolds with subtle intensity. Alina’s intimate vocal performance floats effortlessly between vulnerability and power, weaving a narrative that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. The result is a stunning, slow-burning anthem of longing, memory, and quiet strength.
She shares, “Written during a time of personal loss and grief, the single is a poignant meditation on memory, emotional weight, and the quiet moments that linger after someone is gone.”
Following a run of acclaimed releases – including a live version of ‘Keep Me Warm’ that earned praise from the likes of Wonderland Magazine – “Shoebox” marks the beginning of a new chapter. With sold-out shows across the U.S. and Europe, and a notable sync placement in Emily in Paris, which accrued over 4 million global streams alone, Alina Ly continues to carve a distinct path through the indie-pop landscape.
For fans of artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Jordan Rakei, and early Ben Howard, “Shoebox” offers a new voice rooted in cinematic sensitivity and lyrical depth. It’s a poignant introduction to the themes and textures of the forthcoming album, one shaped by love, loss, reinvention, and the fragments we carry with us.
