Cuban-born singer-songwriter Liset Alea steps into new territory with ‘Find A Way’ out today, a collaboration with producer Lowly Light (Matt Gorny) that turns resilience into rhythm, and we share it here at LOCK.
Best known for her eight years fronting Nouvelle Vague and her work alongside Rodriguez Jr. and Patrick Topping, Alea has long possessed a voice that feels both intimate and cinematic. Here, it’s placed against shimmering layers of nu-disco and indie dance, a setting that amplifies her emotional pull while keeping feet moving.
‘Find A Way’ opens with a rush of optimism, Alea’s vocals balancing sultry warmth with a hint of fragility. Lowly Light’s production mirrors that duality, gleaming synths and propulsive basslines wrap around darker textures, creating a song that thrives on tension and release. At its core, it’s a reminder to cling to wonder when the ground beneath feels uncertain, hope rendered in a four-to-the-floor heartbeat.
“The lyrics were inspired by my own struggles with lack of confidence and an abundance of stubbornness, which is a funny combination. Progress can be slow even when I realise I’m making the same mistakes. I need to fight myself to change, how I approach the challenges life throws at me.” – Matt
What makes the track linger is the way these two artists meet in the middle. Alea writes with a storyteller’s heart, grounding the song in emotion, while Lowly Light shapes its edges with club-ready precision. The result is something that nods to the widescreen pop of Ellie Goulding or Sophie Ellis-Bextor but resists imitation, finding its own sweet spot between vulnerability and abandon.
Equal parts confessional and euphoric, ‘Find A Way’ feels destined for both the solitude of headphones and the communal release of a crowded dance floor.
