Equal parts balladeer, crooner and pop star, Aladean Kheroufi is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, producer, recordist and DJ. Canadian by way of Algeria. He writes songs that are idiosyncratic, soulful and devastating, with a glass half-full optimism that turns heartbreak into melancholy party anthems.
Aladean has been described as a veteran of "making it work' accustomed to recording in improvised spaces with microphones either borrowed or purchased below market value. With a sound that tends to favour minimalism like the confidence of the quietest parts of Curtis Mayfield’s, LIVE! or the faux-simplicity of Sunny Ozuna’s genre bending Tear Drop and Key-Loc output. Yet somehow Aladean’s songs don’t sound old, they sound comfortably made today with respect to the music of the past. His last single “LOVE! … (is the answer) b/w Every Girl” was released February 2022 to critical acclaim with his much anticipated debut LP ‘Studies In A Dying Love’ arriving spring 2024 via Toronto label We Are Busy Body.
