Brent de la Cruz Returns With New Single “Alone”
San Diego indie pop artist Brent de la Cruz has returned with his new single “Alone” and its accompanying music video. His first release since 2021’s EP Finding Boo, “Alone” hints at his next project, bringing forth his lush and melancholic pop sound.
With a subtle nod to Sum 41’s “Pieces” on the chorus hook, “Alone” combines bedroom R&B vocals with emotion-driven lyricism. Brent says of the songs overarching theme, “Sometimes we stray away from the very things and people that’ve made us who we are; for better or for worse, in order to find who we think we should be. Exploring the depths of these emotions can often lead us to dark places, and sometimes it’s best not to give them power – but they usually end up making great stories.”
Dramatic shots and rich colour-grading add to the song’s energy and feeling.
