Rising indie-pop sensation Aaron John is set to captivate audiences with his latest single, “Alive Today,” a heartfelt anthem that encourages listeners to appreciate the present moment and embrace life to its fullest. The track serves as the title piece for Aaron’s debut EP, a four-song collection that weaves together a diverse range of musical influences and resonates with the themes of hope, gratitude, and self-discovery.
“Alive Today” is a poignant reflection on Aaron’s journey into his 30s, prompting introspection on the trajectory of his life and a quest for the simplicity reminiscent of youthful times. The chorus, with its empowering declaration, “I’m alive today – I’m gonna’ live,” serves as a powerful realization that dwelling on the past and worrying about the future does not contribute to personal growth or happiness. Instead, the song encourages listeners to find meaning and joy in the present moment.
The four-track EP, also titled “Alive Today,” is a musical tapestry that revolves around the central theme of embracing the current moment. Many of the songs were penned during the challenging times of COVID-19 lockdowns, with Aaron aiming to inspire hope and gratitude within his community. Influenced by his experiences as an English teacher in South Korea, the EP draws from a wide range of genres, including pop, rock, K-pop, hip-hop, R&B, and jazz.
“I wanted to share this song as the title track of the EP because I believe it carries an important message,” says Aaron John. “I hope that it uplifts and inspires people to stay present and grateful to be alive.”
The EP was written by Aaron John himself and produced by The Owenses (Roberta Quilico/Johnny Owens). This marks Aaron’s official debut on all major streaming platforms, showcasing his musical prowess and unique blend of genres.
“Alive Today” will be available for streaming on February 9. Aaron invites music enthusiasts and fans alike to join him on this exhilarating musical journey.
