Singer-songwriter Alfreda is known for her perfect blend of classic and contemporary styles. She now is back with a new single titled ‘Guest Room’. This melodramatic, avant-garde pop song showcases Alfreda’s signature chic-pop style while exploring themes of rejection and longing through her unique artistic lens.
Building on the success of her previous singles ‘Nude’ and ‘Lipstick’, Alfreda’s new release opens with luxurious piano keys and quickly immerses listeners in her entrancing vocals. The song pictures young love and the sting of rejection, with Alfreda’s poignant lyrics and bluesy undertones. The track’s avant-garde pop production emphasizes the tension and vulnerability that define the song.
Alfreda shares a personal anecdote that inspired ‘Guest Room’, recounting a weekend with her first boyfriend’s family. She had anticipated sharing a bed and growing closer, only to be placed in a separate room, an experience that left her feeling deeply rejected.
“The rejection I felt was certainly disproportionate for the situation, but it taps into a deep place of neglect and a feeling of abandonment. I had a lot of emotions and wasn’t sure how to control them.” – Alfreda
Alfreda’s versatility can also be found in her live performances, where she often collaborates with contortionists, magicians, and dancers. During her secret live sets at the underground club-night Dangerous Kitchen, ‘Guest Room’ has already become a fan favorite, with its alluring melody and Alfreda’s evocative vocals captivating audiences.
In addition to her music, Alfreda’s live shows are a spectacle of creativity and inclusivity. Her cabaret-inspired residency, ‘Bedroom Tales’ at London’s House of KOKO, reflects her commitment to creating safe, expressive spaces. Her performances, imbued with a burlesque influence, invite audiences into a world where fantasy and reality seamlessly merge.
