Claudia Fenoglio releases warm new single “Alaska”

Claudia Fenoglio has made a huge an impression within the music industry. Her retrospective lyricism and infectious music has combined to create a powerful partnership that has impressed fans and tastemakers alike. Fenoglio moved to Leeds to study Film and Photography in 2018, and it was at this point where she began looking back at different life experiences, which would later go on to inform her music. In collaboration with her producer Tim Malkin, she kickstarted her career with two singles “19 Again” and “Like it Never Was” – and her career has gone from strength to strength since. 

Her latest single “Alaska” will be sure to immerse you. Featuring low-key drums, grooving bass lines and warmly-penned slide guitars, the instrumental merges infectious and heartwarming together. On top, her vocals land softly, working hand in glove with well-penned lyrics.

Speaking about the single, she says: “Alaska was written about risking everything for a person and it not paying off. It’s also about having dreams and plans with someone and them falling through. I became really drawn into the idea of how two people can go through so much together and have such an emotionally charged journey, but being unable to find happiness when everything around them settles. I had also just finished watching the season finale of Killing Eve and so a lot of the lyrics are really inspired by the narrative and imagery surrounding the two main characters from that show. I thought it would be cool to write about what I could see on screen and from a fictional person’s perspective, instead of just about my own feelings. The whole EP is about fearing feeling a certain way forever and Alaska firstly deals with how you can regret someone whilst still missing them.”

The likes of BBC Introducing, Launchpad Leeds and Youth Music have all offered their full support. With huge tastemakers on board, we cannot wait to see where she’ll take this.
