London-based singer-songwriter Alice Costelloe shares her new single ‘How Can I’, the final preview of her debut album ‘Move On With The Year’, out February 6th, 2026 via Moshi Moshi Records. It follows earlier singles ‘Anywhere Else’, ‘Move On With The Year’ and ‘Damned If You Do’.

‘How Can I’ feels light on its feet, skipping along with honeyed harmonies, gentle tambourine shakes and a soothing warm sound. Beneath that softness, Alice reflects on love, grief and the slow, complicated process of growth. It’s a tender and emotional track without feeling heavy and a beautiful glimpse of what’s waiting on the album.

About the new single Alice mentions:

“When I was finishing the song, I read a quote from Feist where she said, ‘When you say something or sing something enough times, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy – it’s almost like casting spells.’ It made me think about what it would feel like playing songs full of sadness, night after night, and whether those were the spells I wanted to be casting,” Costelloe explains. “So I added the line ‘I am good, I’m enough, I’m surrounded by love’. I know it’s unbearably cheesy, but I wanted a moment in the set that could counteract some of the darker parts of the record and manifest something more positive.”

‘How Can I’ is out now on all platforms. ‘Move On With The Year‘ arrives February 26th via Moshi Moshi Records.
