Alice Costelloe
List Pick
January 8, 2026
London singer-songwriter Alice Costelloe has returned with her new single, ‘How Can I’. It’s a uniquely crafted track that feels slightly intense in its blend of wide, held chords, propulsive bass lines and subtly gritty synths, yet her honey-sweet, harmonious vocals and the subtle shake of the tambourine take it in a different direction. “When I was finishing the song, I read a quote from Feist where she said, ‘When you say something or sing something enough times, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy – it’s almost like casting spells.’ It made me think about what it would feel like playing songs full of sadness, night after night, and whether those were the spells I wanted to be casting,” she explains. “So I added the line ‘I am good, I’m enough, I’m surrounded by love’. I know it’s unbearably cheesy, but I wanted a moment in the set that could counteract some of the darker parts of the record and manifest something more positive.” Alice Costelloe’s debut album, Move On With The Year, is out on February 6th, 2026, via Moshi Moshi Records.
