Singer-songwriter Aly Remulla releases her newest track, ‘Sigurado’ on Friday, July 29. The track is published under O/C Records and explores the concept of war between the head and heart in matters of love.
Sigurado touches on a paradox anchored in one’s fear of falling for someone. The record’s narrative also speaks of the journey of taking a leap of faith and allowing one to feel the warmth, love, and appreciation of someone. The record highlights the daunting decision process of falling in love or running away.
“The song is about the battle of the head and the heart, specifically for people who are afraid to fall in love. Sigurado is about the whole process of figuring out your feelings towards someone and how scary it can be to allow ourselves to be loved,” Aly explains.
Inspired by the complex process of controlling and determining emotions towards someone, Sigurado started as an impromptu record that Aly was able to craft in a hotel room after a friend’s birthday party.
The track’s production then developed in 2021, a little after Aly worked on the girl-love series, Lulu, as a musical director, in which she shared learnings from that experience greatly influenced the overall structure of Sigurado.
“I learned a lot from Direk Sigrid and from making the music score for the series. I started to become more intentional and selective with the instruments that I bring to the track. I also realized how important the tiny details are and how they can massively contribute to guiding the audience throughout the story,” she shares.
Aly’s music is known to bring out some form of escape from a chaotic environment — a lullaby that deems to calm the rushing waters. Her previous releases include Isla, Luna, and the official soundtrack of the Vivamax series, Lulu.
This latest single, Sigurado, exhibits a harmony between her musical roots and flourishing artistic approaches, much like representing a “coming-of-age film soundtrack” of her life. Sonically, the track features a sublime mixture of a big string section, synth, bells, and more.
“I’ve always imagined this song as something you’ll play on the car ride home at 2 am with the windows down after a date. It can also be the song while you’re dancing with someone you like on your very first prom,” she shares.
Sigurado is now available for streaming on all digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
