Introducing “Alice of Madness” the hauntingly beautiful debut single from WITCHWISH, the new solo project of multi-talented artist Tarroni Stefano. Known for his roles as a singer, composer, producer, and video-maker, Stefano, under the moniker WITCHWISH, embarks on a mesmerising musical journey that blends pop-rock balladry with a gothic aesthetic reminiscent of Tim Burton’s cinematic universe.
“Alice of Madness” is more than just a song; it’s an exploration of the human psyche, where reality blurs into dreams, love into hope, and pain into anger. Drawing from the timeless tale of Alice in Wonderland, WITCHWISH reimagines the story through a modern lens, infusing it with emo-pop-punk influences and Victorian-era vibes. The result is a song that captures the essence of a generation’s longing, all while channeling the nostalgia of the 2000s emo era.
“This song was born out of my need to confront the stress and insomnia that often accompany a hectic creative life,” says Stefano. “By giving these emotions a face, I can move forward and remind myself of who I am. ‘Alice of Madness’ delves into the duality that exists within us all—a struggle between two sides of life that must be navigated with our own perspectives.”
The music video for “Alice of Madness,” directed and produced by Stefano himself, visually amplifies the song’s themes. It presents a narrative that intertwines the Victorian aesthetic with contemporary pop culture, evoking the eerie charm of a Tim Burton film. The video not only complements the song but also deepens the listener’s connection to the emotional landscape that WITCHWISH so artfully crafts.
“Alice of Madness” is the first in a series of new songs that WITCHWISH will release, each designed to take listeners on a journey through evocative stories and emotions. With its catchy chorus and darkly enchanting atmosphere, the single marks the beginning of a project that promises to resonate deeply with fans of gothic pop-rock and those seeking a fresh take on emo nostalgia.
