Pop sensation Alana Rich is back with a daring, cinematic statement in her newest single, "The Thrill." Combining alt-pop, Adult Contemporary, and Synthwave, the song offers a glistening panorama that's equally reminiscent and euphoric, a representation of late-night wanderlust. "The Thrill" sets the stage for a journey where desire and liberation intersect. Co-produced by Justin Sprout with Samantha Dang and Ken Tran, the track pulses with an inherently cinematic tension, hearts are racing, streets are burning under neon glow, moments are living large, and then ebbing into the night.
Rich seizes the moment just this side of chasing something thrilling but unattainable, and turns it into an anthem of emotional electricity. It's no wonder "The Thrill" is already creating a buzz, finding itself under GRAMMY® consideration as Best Dance/Electronic Recording and Best Dance Pop Recording before it's even enjoyed widespread public release. The track showcases Rich's classic flair for blurring genre lines without losing touch of her personal charm, which is yet another reason why she is recognized as one of Music Connection Magazine's Top 25 Indie Music Artists To Watch.
Whether playing to the electric NBA Portland Trail Blazers crowds or runway-side at national fashion weeks and performing alongside legends such as JoJo, Michelle Branch, Richard Marx, and Arnel Pineda of Journey, Rich has worked the stage and developed an undeniable presence. She has also joined forces with K-POP talents JUNNY and DAUL, as well as the UK alt-pop act Lets Eat Grandma, thus proving her versatility and global aesthetic. Rich's music draws from the well of her heritage and the depth of her life's experiences, infusing it with unending layers of identity, experience, and purpose.
Amidst its lush synths, propulsive beats, and filmic production, "The Thrill" and its purest expression invite you to give yourself up to the night, take the rush and the release, and revel in the honeyed, sweet irony of the space that exists between desire and the freedom from its heavy weight. With it, Alana Rich further cements her reputation as a progressive artist of mind, heart, and adventure. For those prepared to chase the night, "The Thrill" is the ride.
