Alexis Plaen announces ‘Enjoy the Void’ | A fearless exploration of existential themes with bold new single ‘Temporary Creatures’
Chicago-based singer-songwriter Alexis Plaen has announced her upcoming album ‘Enjoy the Void’, set for release on October 10. With a fearless blend of pop, rock, electronic, and cinematic elements, the project chronicles Alexis’s search for meaning through moments of chaos and reflection.
Plaen explains her vision for the album:
“I think of the void as that mental space you go to when you’re pursuing answers to existential questions.” For Alexis, the record is not only an artistic expression but also a personal journey toward self-resolution.
As part of the announcement, Alexis has released her fourth single from the album, ‘Temporary Creatures’. A fusion of punk and electronic textures, the track encapsulates the project’s themes of impermanence and resilience. With its energetic edge and lyrical depth, the song embodies a fearless embrace of mortality and transformation. 
Known for her genre-defying style, Alexis has built her artistry on channeling personal experiences into powerful, thought-provoking music. Her work reflects on existentialism in today’s capitalist society, with lyrics that push for reflection and change.
Her resilience has been tested in profound ways. In 2023, Alexis lost her apartment to a fire while she was recording at the studio. Despite losing everything she owned, she chose to turn her pain into strength, continuing to create songs that resonate with listeners on a deeper level.
‘Enjoy the Void’ promises to be her most ambitious project to date, transforming hardship and existential questioning into bold, emotional soundscapes. With ‘Temporary Creatures’ paving the way, Alexis Plaen is ready to take her message global, blending vulnerability with power in every note.
