Oct 14, 2026

A shifting blend of piano, strings, and electronic textures reflects Alba’s life out of sequence, where intimate human bonds meet a future shaped by virtual and physical realities. The instrumental opening moves between wonder, unease, and tenderness; the vocal half adds songs about time, memory, identity, and love without settling into a single mood.
