Alexandra Stréliski

Alexandra Stréliski announces the release of the extended version of Néo-Romance, available via Secret City Records in Canada and via XXIM Records/Sony Masterworks in the rest of the world. The composer shares two new tracks with us through this latest offering: “Prelude in Lodz,” available right now, as well as “Umbra,” which will be available upon the release of the extended version. 

The two new titles came to life at different times during the creative process of Néo-Romance and act as bookends for the overall project. “Prelude in Lodz” was composed about three years ago, at the very start of the writing sessions for the album, while “Umbra” was completed after the majority of Néo-Romance had already been recorded. 

The phenomenal success of Alexandra Stréliski’s third album since its release last March can’t be ignored. Néo-Romance has received plenty of praise, earning a spot on the Polaris Music Prize Long List, and becoming one of the most-nominated albums at the Gala de l’ADISQ with six nominations, including Female Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Bestselling Album of the Year. She has also performed for many packed venues across Quebec since the spring. 

Alexandra Stréliski has over 330 million streams worldwide. INSCAPE sold 180,000 albums in Canada, where it is certified double platinum, in addition to winning five Félix and a JUNO award (Instrumental Album of the Year). One of the three best-sellers of 2019 and 2020 in Quebec, the album also won Album of the Year at the Independent Music Awards, and it was nominated on the 2019 Polaris Music Prize Long List. Alexandra Stréliski’s music was heard in Sharp Objects and the Big Little Lies Season 2 round-table, both on HBO, and at the Hugo Boss fashion show during the New York Fashion Week. The album climbed the classical music charts in more than 20 countries worldwide. The INSCAPE concert received a Silver Ticket from ADISQ and sold more than 40,000 tickets throughout the province. Pianoscope — Stréliski’s first opus — is certified gold in Canada, and its songs have been heard in Dallas Buyers Club, Demolition, and during the Oscars ceremony in 2014.
