No Roots - Alice Merton
LCM #SongOfTheDay: ‘No Roots’ - Alice Merton
We have a very catchy song today to get your blood pumping and toes tapping. The very talented rising star and award winning singer-songwriter Alice Merton is very well traveled. She was born in Germany and raised in Canada and England. The very aptly named ‘No Roots’ is the title track of her debut EP released back in 2016. We dedicate it to all travelling globe-trotting musicians and anyone who ‘likes digging holes and burying things inside them’ #Blacklist
Growing up around the world Alice was as influenced by other cultures as much her own transience. Alice’s absorption of different styles helped create her distinctive sound. As a child, she learned classical piano and singing while in Canada. When Alice was a teenager, her family moved to Germany, where she would pick up the guitar and write her first song. While in Germany, she also studied at the Mannheim conservatory of music. Later, the family would relocate again, this time to England. Alice won the 2018 EBBA award.
Alice will be releasing her debut album ‘Mint’ on January 18th. You can pre-order directly from her website via the link below.
