After making global waves with their breakout singles “Ariana” and “Sweet”, British pop trailblazers dearALICE release their debut EP, bitterSWEETsummer: a kaleidoscopic, emotionally rich pop project that captures the fleeting highs and heartbreaks of youth, fame, and summer love.
Spanning seven tracks, bitterSWEETsummer is as much a sonic diary as it is a statement of intent — one that places dearALICE firmly at the center of pop’s global evolution. Brimming with contradictions and contrast, it reflects the experience of a summer that’s both euphoric and aching, intoxicating and uncertain. Just like the band itself, the record lives between worlds: British and Korean pop, emotional and anthemic, nostalgic and forward-facing.
Drawing inspiration from both the UK’s great legacy of global boybands, and the band’s unique journey between the UK and Korea, bitterSWEETsummer proudly salutes dearALICE’s British pop identity alongside their showcasing on some of the largest platforms, and working with some of the best choreographers, and producers, of K-pop.
