Alana Lee
Oct 20, 2013
Three years after sharing the ups and downs of young love on her popular debut single "Butterflies" -- which earned the praise of famed pop culture blogger Perez Hilton and scored over 12 million YouTube views,16-year-old Alana Lee is soaring again.
This time, she's taking off into young adulthood with two demonstrative ballads that reflect her soulful maturity as a vocalist and evolution as an emerging independent artist.
Her latest singles, the infectious "Dream Out Loud" and "Perfect Storm," are part of the multi-talented performer's dynamic new musical relationship with international recording star Thomas Barsoe, founder of The OC Hit Factory, a music academy, record label and critically-acclaimed songwriting camp. Barsoe co-wrote and produced both tracks, which will be released by Alana's own Alana Lee Productions.
"Dream Out Loud" (written by Barsoe, Lars Halvor Jensen and Pam Sheyne) and "Perfect Storm" (penned by Barsoe, Jensen, Dixie Maxwell and Catrien Maxwell) will also be included in Alana's upcoming five-track EP, featuring several songs co-written by Alana and Barsoe.
A dramatic, emotional video for "Dream Out Loud" chronicles a powerful lifelong friendship, depicting a key element in Alana's creative growth.
