Alesso and John Alto’s ‘Lonely Heart’ – A Signal of Alesso’s Intent to Break From The Norm

November 7, 2024 By Chad Downs

Alesso kicks down the door to a new era with “Lonely Heart,” featuring John Alto, exploding through his new label, Body Hi. “Lonely Heart” plunges headfirst into a dark, throbbing reimagining of Yes’ 1983 classic, tearing away the gloss and injecting it with a moody, bass-heavy undercurrent. The blend of atmospheric house grooves with raw, rock-infused vocals creates a unique and compelling sound, redefining what fans can expect from Alesso’s as it stands. This is Alesso embracing a sound that challenges conventional boundaries.

John Alto is crashing onto the scene with an epic debut under Alesso’s guidance. Born between Copenhagen and London, Alto’s journey is one of restless creativity and daring experimentation. He cut his teeth with a drop on Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS, and now, with Los Angeles as his playground, he’s laser-focused on his craft. From Salt Lake City to Brooklyn Navy Yard, Alto has been riding shotgun on Alesso’s recent U.S. tour dates, pouring everything into his sets and proving he’s not here to play nice—he’s here to make a name. This is an artist unafraid to dive into the murky depths of heavy bass lines, eerie atmospherics, and emotional punch, carving his way into the heart of the electronic scene.

Alesso is an untamed force of nature in the electronic universe, linking up with everyone from Ryan Tedder to Hailee Steinfeld. His smash hit “Let Me Go” with Florida Georgia Line just broke the billion-stream mark, securing his role as a global titan. With Body Hi, Alesso shifts focus to a more raw and intimate sound, moving away from the polished style of his previous work. He is blending his passion for intense, meaningful electronic with a desire to explore deeper, more personal aspects of electronic music. This transition marks a new, unrestrained direction for Alesso.
