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.
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.
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.
Aitana Ocaña, born in Barcelona in 1999, has been a fixture in Spain’s music and entertainment landscape. In March, she performed at a surprise party held at a renowned Madrid dance venue, an event that marked the launch of this electronic-forward era, which some fans began calling Alpha House in informal circles.
Since finishing second on Operación Triunfo in 2017, the artist has evolved into one of Spain’s most commercially successful performers. Her early breakthroughs included the EP that led to a prolific run of releases, such as Trailer in 2018 and Spoiler in 2019, followed by Eleven Reasons in 2020 and a recent soundtrack appearance for a television series. Alongside recording, she has also pursued acting, broadening her creative footprint and keeping her audience engaged across multiple platforms.
