ACCESS ALARKE’S EPK
“As an opera student at McGill University in Montréal, Mary Alouette [Alarke] developed an interest that didn’t necessarily correspond to her studies: electronic music. It took moving to Brooklyn and embarking on a career as a gypsy jazz singer to finally bring electronica into the mix...”
“Alarke has all the best qualities — original songwriting, respectful nods to traditional sounds and an effervescent stage presence.”
Alarke Talks “Future Self” & Future Plans on PopWrapped
With a vast career spanning two decades, several genres and various countries, electro-pop titan Alarke shows no signs of slowing down. After an inspiring month-long trip to Cuba, the multi-faceted artist added an additional title- entrepreneur.
“Her vocals adapt to both traditional and modern sounds. She can project power with her opera-trained voice, and also express vulnerability on stories of love and loss. She exudes a sense of mystery.”
“Alarke’s performances draw you in with their hypnotic qualities, turning each song into a dialogue between her and the audience.”
Interview with Pen’s Eye View
Genre bender and experimental dance pop artist Alarke says her sound is somewhat like melding together Charli XCX and Grimes…but we’d argue she’s just a bit more than that.
“With a voice that sounds wild but always in control, this ex-opera student’s sound is too multifaceted to be pigeonholed in a few sentences.”
“Funky and fresh sound that coincides flawlessly with Alarke’s vocals...”

“This track is upbeat, spunky, and the perfect tune as we transition into warmer weather. It has a techno-EDM sound and would be a great club feature. With pops of vibrancy and pulsing beats you can’t help but get up and dance when “Mystics” comes on. It’s a fresh sound with uplifting lyrics about fearlessness and living your life.”
“Ms. Alouette’s incarnation, The Lark, is a mix of traditional gypsy jazz with hip-hop and trap beats.”

“Notes of Portishead’s music and James Bond’s adventurous approach to life are delightfully represented.”
“The [Angel] track is a trip hoppy number, landing somewhere between Tricky’s intense musical whiffs and some kind of new-age-that-doesn’t-suck placidity. A song about a good, but also weird, trip in the tub, nothing sounds better than that right now…”

“Unique blend of gypsy jazz and electronic music.”
“Mary Alouette mixes a bit of ambient with a lot of vocal harmonies in this chilled down trip called ‘Angel’, which also sports paint, glitter and a fantastic ending.”
