LALIBERTE's music explores emotion, storytelling, and creative phoneticism. Inspired by Edith Skinner’s Speak With Distinction, which she studied in acting school to refine her accent, Alexandra developed a deep fascination with phonetics and lyrical writing. Her background in hip-hop dance naturally led her to instrumental beats from artists like Suff Daddy, Dela, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Pete Rock, Ta-Ku, Kero-One, J Dilla, Gramatik, Quantic, and Nicolas Jaar. She draws lyrical inspiration from Q-Tip, Damu The Fudgemunk, MF Doom, Lady Paradox, Missy Elliott, Jeru the Damaja, Digable Planets, Kendrick Lamar, Camp Lo, A Tribe Called Quest, Little Simz, and holds a special admiration for Billie Holiday. For LALIBERTE, music begins with a feeling—a spark that turns into words. It often starts as a journal entry, later shaped into rhythmic lyrical flow. She expands long-form writing into song lyrics, guided by instrumentals that resonate with the song’s emotion. Once an instrumental clicks, she lets it shape the storytelling’s musicality. She records rough demos on GarageBand, layering vocals over imported beats or self-built sounds before refining the track with producers. Her lyrics reflect different chapters of her life—moving to NYC and missing home (Quest), heartbreak (Incognita), and the deep sadness of witnessing the Syrian crisis unfold (Incognita). Initially split into EPs, these songs now exist as one collective body of work. LALIBERTE thrives on collaboration, working with diverse musicians and producers, including Yoav Shemesh, an award-winning composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer (NYC/TLV); Lee Lara, a Brooklyn-based rapper and producer; Justin Alexandre, a soulful singer with deep gospel influences; and Daniel Casares, a renowned Spanish flamenco guitarist and composer with six solo albums, including Duende Flamenco (1999), La Madrugá (2001), and Picassares (2015).
