“This song is simply about getting in the car and driving away from it all for a moment. My favorite kind of therapy, perfect for driving or road trip playlists.” – Alex Aller explained

‘Driving Away’ contains a relatable narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies that will resonate well with HAIM, Maggie Rogers, and Mazzy Star. The dreamy tune possesses guitar-laden instrumentation flavored with alternative, indie, and pop-rock elements. Furthermore, “Driving Away” serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear from Alex Aller in the near future as she continues to release new music.

“I think one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced as a writer is learning that not only is it okay to do, but it’s been necessary to let myself grow new layers, to switch in and out of lanes. I’ve had so many different vessel callings over the years. To sing, to write music, to read and learn, to write poems, to write books. People have told me to choose one single path. And while I don’t really consider myself a rebel, the truth is I’ve only ever kept my eye on the road.

Every word I’ve ever written has only ever existed because of the last. Every layer I gain is getting me to where I’m going. I am the resource that plants signs into the ground. The only rule I have in art and a life I’ve chosen to live is to keep going. Besides, I do have one single path – it just happens to be a seven-lane highway.” – Alex Aller explained 

“Checking my phone like it’s gonna change something.”

Not too long ago, Alex Aller signed to Sony RED under the artist moniker, Skela. She went on tour, jumped around on stage, belted cathedral high notes in front of crowded rooms, and did her best to keep a red wig from sliding down her head each night. She loved her team and fans but still, an uneasy feeling lingered. She walked away from it and people called her crazy. She decided to burn her wigs because she can be a little dramatic at times.

Alex Aller spent a decade of her life pouring her soul into worlds she never shared with others. Until one day, she realized that it was 2019. Patti Smith was a best-selling author and the internet had already been around for a very long time. It hit her – she could do whatever the hell she wanted. She would have to start from scratch, but that didn’t scare her because secretly – as she always suspected – she was a cat who had eight more lives.
