Kristiane Alphson is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. After singing in an acapella group at high school, she started doing solo shows in LA. She spent the last few years writing and crafting a sound of her own.

Her new single Wish I Could Be Your Girl is only her second ever. It follows her debut single I Can’t Tell, which she released last August. Her latest track is a dreamy alternative pop song that grabs your attention upon first listen. It tells an intimate tale she wrote only recently. Subsequently, producer Jesse Munsat made it sound the way she dreamed it would. The two did a great job!

Kristiane tells about Wish I Could Be Your Girl: “This song to me isn’t about literally wanting to be somebody’s ‘girl’, but rather wanting to fit the archetype of the kind of partner that’s easy to be with, uncomplicated. I think as someone who struggles with mental health it’s easy to demonize your emotions, instead of embracing that it’s okay to be someone with a complicated history/emotions.”

Later this Autumn, Kristiane will release another single, followed by an EP early next year.
