Chicago Native Alistar Unveils His Festive New Single, “You & Me”

Hailing from Chicago, rising artist Alistar has been destined to do this for a long time. Born to a set of creative and talented parents, Alistar knew what he wanted and eventually set out for L.A. to enroll in college and find it. After dropping out abruptly after only a few weeks, he instead decided to focus on his talents and his budding career. That turned out to be the right decision, as he has utilized TikTok in the last year or so to cultivate a dedicated fanbase. Looking to further that reach, he checks into our pages with his engaging new single, “You & Me.”

Produced by SamzBeats, the song follows a consistent latin rhythm that sets the tone for the song as a whole. Meshing in up-beat drum breaks and infectious keys, Samz does a great job of catering to Alistar’s strengths, which include his impressive vocal range and an infectious flow that is a great complement to his greatest strength. In an era where Spanish music is really catching its’ stride, Alistar showcases an engaging pen that provides some great bi-lingual lines like, “¿que quieres amor? Have you done this before? I wanna fly away with you once more,” before transitioning into a chorus that makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs, even if you’re unsure of what’s being said.

In all, Alistar seems to be a crossover artist with the potential to make waves on both sides. Take a listen to his new single below and get familiar with the Chicago vocalist.
