Visions Lyrics & Tracklist – Alice Merton

Album Information

Visions is the forthcoming third studio album by British‑Canadian singer‑songwriter Alice Merton, scheduled for release on January 16, 2026. The project marks Merton’s first full album in four years following her 2022 release S.I.D.E.S., and continues her exploration of alternative pop music with electronic and anthemic elements that complement her distinctive voice. The album was recorded across multiple locations including Iceland, New York, London, and Los Angeles, and reflects Merton’s evolving artistic identity, blending introspective lyrical themes with vibrant, layered production.
The lead single from the album, “Ignorance Is Bliss,” was released in September 2025 and was written and recorded with collaborators Dan Smith of Bastille, Paul Whalley, and producer Jennifer Decilveo at Flóki Studios in Iceland. The track and its visual accompaniment set a tone of self‑determination and defiance against limiting expectations.
Musically, Visions leans into alt‑pop territory with rich electronic textures and dynamic arrangements that range from introspective moments to high‑energy anthems. Themes throughout the album include self‑belief, loyalty, resilience, and navigating doubt, showcasing Merton’s development as a songwriter and performer.
The album is released on Paper Plane Records International and follows a period of creative collaborations and international touring.
