“I’m smiling just thinking about making ‘Alter Ego’. This song was such a fun and rewarding experience, filled with a lot of Australian magic and talent from the collaborator E^ST, Xavier Dunn, Jackson Wiebe, and Scott Horscroft who all worked on this record with me. I wanted it to feel pop while keeping a sense of rawness and authenticity.
We spent hours fine-tuning the BPMs, jumping around the studio to find that perfect pocket, and layering live instruments to create a beautiful balance. The best part was collaborating with people who shared the same passion for pushing the music to its fullest potential. Every time we thought it was done, we’d find new ideas to elevate it even further. The whole experience of this song has been fulfilling and exciting, I’m so proud of where it’s landed.” EVIE IRIE
