Alma Owren bythingfear owns the second side of the story. Her debut single, "Outcast," is a stunning, indie-driven anthem exploring the bittersweet feelings of being alone and realizing who you are. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter penned it.
Made by her own hands, stitched with cinematic violins, murmuring guitar, and floating vocals, "Outcast" manifests Owren's singular artistic vision. She was raised on stories growing up on a farm in the pastel landscapes of Vingrom, Norway, but music became her dearest tongue. After mastering the violin by age four, she expanded her artistry to songwriting and production, and her sound was crafted with a striking level of authenticity.
"Outcast" is intimate and expansive, stacking eerie melodies atop kinetic instrumentation that grows into something genuinely engulfing. Throughout "Outcast," Owren doesn't merely sing about isolation. She turns it into a visceral experience, a sonic refuge for anyone looking from the outside in.
With this bold debut, Alma Owren plants a flag as an artist unafraid to stare into the depths of complex identity and emotion. "Outcast" is a statement that announces the presence of a fearless new voice in indie music.
