Feel the surge! In “Alcaline,” French pop star Alizée paints music as a live wire that plugs straight into her heart. One catchy riff is all it takes for her pulse to race and her everyday body to morph into a buzzing “pile alcaline” – an alkaline battery overflowing with adrenaline. As the song progresses, she escapes the grey routine around her, closing her eyes and launching into a private voyage where nothing can hurt her and the outside world dissolves.
Why it matters:
“Alcaline” is a celebration of those moments when a single track flips life from black-and-white to full colour and reminds us that, sometimes, all you need for a great escape is the right song on repeat.
