“Catch Me” – The Mysterious Mission of an Artist on the Run
Halifax, NS (March 3, 2023) – Canadian songwriter, Apryll Aileen is gearing up for the next single from her upcoming album, “Catch Me”. What began as a sultry jazzy piano song, has turned into a full-on electro-pop hit that could rival soundtracks from any of the most recent James Bond films.
The chorus lyrics “I walk a lonely road, oh so far from home, cause I can’t let ‘em catch me” leaves the listener wondering who she’s truly on the run from. Is she a spy or is she running from commitment, they may ask, as she taunts both lovers and villains to catch her as she sets sail onto the next journey, in pursuit of her mission.
Written between Atlantic Canada and recorded in the United Kingdom, the single drops on Friday, March 10th but is available for pre-save now.
Apryll Aileen is a classically trained pianist with a touch of science & spirituality; an alt-pop soulful vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter hailing from Atlantic Canada.
She came into this world during a fierce lightning storm; like a bolt of energy, her personality is charged with charisma and passion. You’ll feel her energy when she enters the room and the vulnerability and authenticity in her vocals will hit you right in the gut. Chock full of captivating lyrics and melodic hooks, her songwriting will leave you saturated in all the feels, wanting to dance but also, contemplate life’s meaning.
After a successful World Junior Hockey Championships show this year and a summer tour that had her performing at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, the Carleton in Halifax, and headlining the stage at the 2022 Canada Games in Niagara Falls, Aileen is preparing for the upcoming release of her full album “Bad Things” in Spring 2023
Aileen transcends genres, creating her own undefinable sound with influences coming from pop, electronic, rock, folk and R&B. She doesn’t imitate – she creates.
A hybrid of two polarities, she blends melodic songwriting and vocal tones from artists such as Miley Cyrus and Adele but with the storytelling edge of Stevie Nicks.
From performing in London, Hollywood, New York, Toronto, and more, Aileen is no stranger to the music world. Her band in Los Angeles includes Toshi Yanagi and Jimmy Earl (players for Jimmy Kimmel Live!).
