New Music From Alexis Bleu!

"Ashes & Embers" - by Alexis Bleu

Release Date - January 23, 2026

What You Should Know: "The Ashes, the Embers, the In-Between… these aren’t places, more like states of being. 

The Embers is where I want to be. It’s a place for those of us who have decided to follow our dreams; the metaphoric candle still burning, lighting the way.

The in-between is like being in limbo. There’s no path, no guiding light, just darkness. 

However, the Ashes is a place for those who have lost their way in life. 

I knew I wasn’t meant for the path I was following but I kept going, anyway. After a while, I found myself creeping out of the Ashes, back to the Embers, and following that light through even the darkest of nights.

I found my light, so I share it with you, hoping you can find your light to guide you, too."

Alexis Bleu Is "Kinda Funny"

 

Be Inspired!

“Kinda Funny” represents an important chapter in Alexis Bleu’s evolving journey as an artist, continuing her commitment to writing, singing, and producing her own music. The track was recorded in her bedroom, with mixing and mastering handled remotely by Juan Canteli, a collaborator she met through a
Berklee Online course. Juan, who also worked on her earlier track “Summer of ’21” brought the song to life with his polished touch—something Alexis says was essential to making "Kinda Funny" what it is today.

The song was written during a major transitional period in Alexis’s life: she had just transferred from Berklee’s Boston campus to Berklee Online and moved back in with her parents in North Carolina. Struggling with FOMO and feelings of falling behind, she decided to channel those feelings into something uplifting. Drawing instrumental inspiration and lyrical depth from Em Beihold, Stela Cole, and Katie Lynne Sharbaugh, Alexis created a track that’s both emotionally honest and uptempo.
Alexis reflects, “When I was a little girl, I wanted to be this larger-than-life singer... With this song being out, it helps me remember that no matter where life takes me, I know I'll be okay, either way.”

"I hope this song is able to connect with others, and if it does, then I hope it puts a smile on their face, just as it does mine."

What You Should Know: "I’ve been avoiding men like the plagues of Egypt since I was probably 13 years old. The lengths I went to to not have to touch one genuinely astounds me to this day.

We were walking through the stadium when I randomly started freaking the literal fuck out, so I ran to the bathroom to hide. Then I pulled up my phone and just started typing.

That’s when I realized what I had been doing my entire life."
