With “Body as a Vessel,” Alis Vibe Reframes Death as the Next Phase of Our Spiritual Journey

Modern society has come to view death as an absolute end; a tragic event met with grief and, in sudden cases, a seemingly futile search for closure.

Alis Vibe (IG | Spotify)– the intentional and international singer-songwriter from Milan, Italy – invites us to reframe death as the continuation of our spiritual journey with her new single, “Body as a Vessel” (out Nov. 8, 2024).

“‘Body as a Vessel’ is inspired by the transformative nature of life and death. This song embodies the uplifting message that our bodies are merely vessels for our spirit and soul,” Alis said. “While death is often viewed with sorrow, I wanted to create a narrative that celebrates it as a powerful transformation; a continuation of our essence, rather than an end.”

Written by Alis Vibe and produced by Dillon Pace, “Body as a Vessel” is heavily influenced by the electronic dance pop of Alis’ home continent. The empowering anthem invites us to release fear and judgment, as we come to understand that our finite physical existence represents a mere snapshot of our soul’s connection to the universe.

“Overall, the song captures a transformative journey toward self-acceptance, mindfulness, and the realization of one’s inherent worth,” Alis said.

“Body as a Vessel” also marks an important point in Alis’ musical journey, as she transitions toward the next phase of her artistry. The Nashville-based pop songstress is preparing to offer new music, fresh perspectives, and exciting live experiences throughout 2025.

“‘Body as a Vessel’ is not only a song that deals with the concept of death, but it’s the end of an era for me,” Alis said. “We’re working on the next chapter of my music journey.”

Mixing, mastering, and sound design performed by Simone “Unsaid” Saparacino.

LISTEN: Cardiac Half Makes a Comeback with ‘Gloom’

The brothers of Cardiac Half have taken a long, uncertain road on their way to their first new, original release since 2021’s self-titled album.

The duo — comprised of real-life brothers Drew and Dylan Miller — have returned with “Gloom,” an atmospheric and contemplative electropop instrumental which serves as a sonic representation of the doubt brought forth by challenging times.

“It’s been nearly three years since Cardiac Half released a new song. Fighting for what’s important, fighting for sanity, and even fighting for the health and wellness of ourselves and our families,” Dylan Miller said. “This is why music was put on hold for a season.”

The track begins with an emotive piano dirge, as searing synth tones begin to bubble up from the surface. A electronic dance beat moves us along — ready or not — like the passage of time, inspiring the listener to collect their thoughts and uncover the best way forward amid life’s ambiguity.

“I was about to move across state lines for the birth of my son, relocating to find treatment for my unborn son’s rare medical condition,” Dylan Miller said. “Drew was dealing with the most mental health issues he had ever faced. There was no guarantee where the band and the dream of music was going, and this song was formed.”

“Gloom” was written and produced by Drew Miller, who then passed it along to mix engineer Ryan Wilson for some additional studio magic. Have a listen below!

Start Your Week with Something to Make You ‘Dance’

I was six years old in 1993, when Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers premiered to the world. Like many kids of my generation, I was captivated by this show. In particular, I found myself drawn toward one Ranger in particular. That would be Zack Taylor, the Black Power Ranger portrayed by Walter Emanuel Jones.

UMC20: What’s Up with Spotify? (Mar. 8, 2022)

First, a PSA: if you released music to Spotify within the past week, check to see if it’s online. There were some tracks we planned to include on this week’s UMC20 that, for some reason, have gone dark over there.

Anyway, the good news is that there’s always plenty of fire in the music ecosystem to fill out a UMC20. We found plenty of it in the submission form and numerous inboxes, and we’re excited to present it to you today. Let’s go!
