Aitana has announced via social media that the long-awaited third full-length studio album will arrive on September 22, bringing a bold new chapter to her catalog. The project, titled Alpha, bridges electronic textures with soulful pop undertones, signaling a shift that fans have anticipated since her rise in the Spanish music scene. The singer-songwriter from Barcelona has often explored genre-blending in her work, and Alpha appears to push those experiments further while retaining the melodic hooks that define her sound.

In a recent video post, the Catalan artist invites audiences to move to a danceable rhythm inspired by 90s disco, paired with fresh imagery and a noticeably shorter hairstyle. The message accompanies a snippet of the release date and nods to a cinematic mood reminiscent of the 2020 film Eleven Reasons. The clip underscores the album’s celebration of nostalgia and modern production, a combination that has become a signature in her contemporary persona. [citation: entertainment coverage attribution]
The reveal follows the release of Miamor, a track that will feature on Alpha and draws from europop influences with a guest touch from Rels B, a prominent figure in the Spanish urban scene. The collaboration aligns with a broader trend in the region where artists blend electronic elements with street-ready flows to reach a wider audience. [citation: music industry reporting attribution]
Ahead of Alpha’s arrival, listeners can expect Angels as the first official single of this new phase. The track sits alongside Babies, which samples Whigfield’s classic Saturday Night, signaling a playful reintroduction to summer sounds that defined last year’s playlist favorites. This pairing suggests a deliberate arc: a bridge between club-inspired energy and retro-pop nostalgia. [citation: music press attribution]
