ARAÉ

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my first memories is getting lost in a pixelated skyline, synths echoing through digital space. That moment—soft lights, glitched feelings—was when I knew I wanted to make music that feels like dreaming with your eyes open. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Madonna, Like a Prayer NINA, Synthian (feat. LAU) t.A.T.u., 200 KM/H In the Wrong Lane Synthian is dreamy and cinematic, 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane is raw and rebellious, and Like a Prayer is fearless and emotional. Each album shaped how I see music—as a space to feel, escape, and say the things we’re too afraid to speak out loud. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “LA-LA-LOVE” I love all of my songs, but if I had to choose one right now, it would be LA-LA-LOVE. It captures that dizzy, hyperreal feeling of falling fast—sweet, synthetic, a little messy. It’s like a candy-coated heartbreak on loop. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Just that more people discover my music and feel something real from it. That connection—between sound and emotion—is all I’ve ever wanted.
