Establishing the mood with a cosmic synthscape with psychedelic-dance adjacency, Alessa Xo opens Jupiter with celestial energy and an airy riser before singing, “There’s something that you do to me, something that I can’t explain, I just know that I can’t breathe, it makes me go insane, I just can’t get you off my mind, all my thoughts are intertwined…”

The opus expands with a high emotional quotient as the introspective star analyses her feelings with a pristine dark-pop vocal and textured drums, astral synths and luscious harmonies. We appreciate Alessa Xo‘s poetic prowess and the raw authenticity that transmutes with her songwriting.

We learn that Jupiter was written during the solitude of the pandemic, and is designed to transform personal reflection into a universal, otherworldly experience. This definitely comes through with the ethereal sound and Alessa Xo‘s spacey production, with the concept of the hook, “Jupiter, I know you’ve never been to Jupiter, oh…” as Alessa Xo invites us to a higher realm.

Jupiter comes with a luxurious, cinematic and adventure-driven music video where we experience Alessa Xo in a range of settings – a speed boat, a dock, out in the streets at night, in a refined performance space, and in a Rolls-Royce as she showcases her captivating energy.

The NYC-based singer-songwriter and actress, also known as Alessa Aichinger is a multilingual artist whose transatlantic life between New York City and her hometown of Klagenfurt, Austria, deeply shapes her sound.

Fluent in four languages and holding three academic degrees, she has headlined international festivals and earned recognition for her anthemic and deeply moving songs. Naturally, we have added Jupiter to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream Alessa Xo‘s growing discography, including her album, Neverland!
