Sydney future-soul artist SOMA has been revelling in the release of her new single ‘ALIEN’ – a track that embodies rebirth, a strong theme SOMA can relate to.

She’s on a journey of empowerment with this track, as she seduces and kidnaps a version of her alter ego that she no longer claims as herself.

Reflecting on the process, which saw her work with director Freddie XX on the striking visuals, SOMA has explained how ‘ALIEN’ came to be.

“I was lucky to manifest the team that so naturally came together to execute this idea for 'ALIEN'. Each member played such a significant role and went above and beyond their duties to assure this project would grow to be a masterpiece.

With time constraints, unexpected weather changes, and the usual few happenings that seem to surprise you on set, the team and I were able to overcome these obstacles, always keeping a positive mindset and having clear and open communication, most importantly remembering to enjoy the process.

Everyone's energies aligned to create a safe space where thoughts and ideals could be exchanged, communicated and agreed upon, something which doesn't always flow in creative spaces.

It is such an incredible experience working with creatives who are truly passionate about what they do and the art they want to share with the world.”

Here are five artists that have left an impact on SOMA's vibe.
