With Lay Your Light, Alicia Moffet delivers one of the most powerful performances of her career. Her voice—both raw and controlled—reaches a new level of intensity, revealing an artist at the height of her craft, ready to fully embrace her truth.
Just over a year ago, Alicia Moffet entered the studio for a period of open-ended exploration, without expectations or pressure. For six months, she and her team navigated through ideas and inspirations, in search of a direction that truly reflected her. In the midst of this intense creative process, a song emerged almost unexpectedly: Lay Your Light. From the very first notes, Alicia knew she had tapped into something special. This song quickly became an anchor, a starting point for the rest of the album, and shines a light on the upcoming release of No, I’m Not Crying—a profoundly sincere album, set to be released on May 30. This album represents an entire chapter of Alicia’s life, transformed into music. Each track will embody a visceral emotion, a lesson learned, a truth finally embraced.
In this liberating song, Alicia shares the transformative power of a healthy relationship—one in which she felt seen, loved, and challenged. She reveals her vulnerabilities with courage and speaks to those who also dare to make peace with their shadows.
I had never sung like that before. Each take brought me back to something very real, very raw. - Alicia Moffet Alicia’s voice is at the heart of this production: free, vulnerable, and powerful. Lay Your Light becomes an anthem of empowerment for all those walking toward a fuller version of themselves. With this song, Alicia sets the tone for her upcoming album No, I’m Not Crying, set for release on May 30. This project—the most personal of her career—brings together songs written in a surge of truth and creative freedom, and promises to reveal an artist who is stronger, more vulnerable, and more radiant than ever before.
Lay Your Light was the first song where I truly channelled that vulnerability. It’s where I began to reveal myself in a much more personal way, and the entire album was born from that moment. — Alicia Moffet
With No, I’m Not Crying, Alicia Moffet begins a new chapter in her career, marked by a renewed sense of artistic freedom. Surrounded by a new creative team at Cult Nation—a collective home to bold, innovative talents like Charlotte Cardin and Lubalin—she joins forces with producers Jason Brando, Sam Avant, and Harper Gordon to shape a musical universe that is deeper, more mature, and more daring.
This collaboration allows her to push her artistic boundaries and assert a stronger musical identity. Together, her management and creative teams are orchestrating a new phase in her career, driven by a refreshed vision and ambitious projects on the horizon.
It was in this spirit of exploration that Lay Your Light was born. More than just a song, it’s a statement of intent: Alicia is no longer afraid to reveal her flaws or open herself fully to her audience. She skillfully navigates the duality of her emotions, moving between vulnerability and strength.
With a production that is both stripped-down and powerful, Lay Your Light marks a significant evolution in her artistic journey. This second single sets the stage for an ambitious album, where each track tells a story of truth, carried by a rich sonic palette and heartfelt lyrics.
I’ve always written when going through intense experiences. But this time, I wanted to go even further—to dare to say the real things, to look at myself unfiltered. - Alicia Moffet
