Emerging from her cocoon, Danish-Canadian singer Alexandria Beck or otherwise known as Áli, has just released her debut single, ‘Cocoon’, which features an innovative mix of pop music with a classical crossover undertone. A classically trained lyric soprano, Áli is no new to the scene, having performed alongside many world-renowned artists such as Andrea Bocelli. Her new single though marks a new beginning for the singer who decided to experiment with a more contemporary sound in an attempt to create music which would appeal to both the mainstream audience and those who are new to opera. The result is an upbeat pop song which echoes of the singer’s transformational journey; a path filled with struggle, pain, risk and reward.
