Following a year of back-to-back hits, Adelaide singer songwriter aleksiah returns with her most vulnerable track to date ‘Faker’. Under the guise of upbeat pop, the track unpacks aleksiah’s complicated relationship with intimacy, destigmatising a touchy topic with her trademark knack for satire. LISTEN HERE + BUY TICKETS HERE. 

‘Faker’ looks at a topic that is often glamorised by pop music through a new lens, offering comfort to those who may be holding on to shame and embarrassment. Overwhelmed by the response to ‘Clothes Off‘, which speaks on sexual shame and negative body image, aleksiah was empowered to share more of her story. ‘Faker’ sees her commit to unlearning years of bad habits surrounding sex in order to let go of expectations and reclaim physical intimacy on her own terms. 

She explains; “Faker is by far the most intimate song I’ve ever written, in more ways than one. Many people struggle with the concept of sex, and there are so many songs written under the guise of blaming someone else for failing to get you “there” but not many for the opposite, and how you can feel like you need to apologise for it. It’s something I struggle with, even from the first time I started my journey with my own body, and like a lot of people I blame myself for my own shortcomings (pun intended). I worried about hurting someone’s feelings, so I was notorious for “faking” that moment.

For a long time, I thought I was broken, so I wanted to write a pop song that was honest and brash in the way it talks about not being able to get to the big O, and truthful about how sometimes it’s not them, it’s you. In true aleksiah fashion, I wanted to make it fun and poppy with uncomfortable and no-filter lyrics. Whether it’s because you’re scared, you’ve never experienced it before, you’re on medication that affects your sex life, or you’re just not ready to be that vulnerable and open with your body, it’s ok, we are not broken, and we can still have fun.”

After wrapping up her sold out Australian headline run in August, aleksiah is taking the ‘cry about it’ tour to the UK and Europe this November and December. Hitting stops in England, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Belgium, aleksiah will perform her latest EP and more to the far corners of the globe.
