AELEEN Unveil Bold New Single and Music Video ‘Misfits’
AELEEN have dropped their highly anticipated new single ‘Misfits’, accompanied by a visually striking music video, marking another confident step in the band’s genre-defying journey: Released today, the track and video showcase the band’s signature blend of punchy pop-rock energy and emotionally charged storytelling.
Fronted by Kti Cruz, AELEEN’s line-up also features Mike Klyuykov on guitar, Fabien Colette on drums, and Ilia Dokshin handling bass and electronic textures. Together, they create a sound that is both technically precise and emotionally raw, with a chemistry that thrives on contrasts — intensity with vulnerability, chaos with clarity.
To accompany the release, AELEEN are preparing a striking music video that promises to match the track’s aggression and individuality with bold, uncompromising visuals. Shot and directed by Alex Avelur, the video aims to capture the raw energy and restless spirit of the band, offering fans a first glimpse into AELEEN’s world before the official release.
‘Misfits’ immediately grabs attention with its driving guitars and synth-infused rhythms, paired with vocals that balance power and intimacy. The lyrics celebrate individuality, championing those who dare to stand apart from the crowd—a theme amplified in the accompanying music video. With dynamic visuals and cinematic storytelling, the video captures the song’s rebellious and empowering spirit, creating a compelling audiovisual experience.
“Misfits is about the feeling of not belonging and the restless energy that comes with it. We wanted the video to capture that raw intensity — the tension, the struggle, but also the power that comes from embracing who you are.
In the video we wanted to keep things raw and honest, without polish or distraction, to let the emotion drive everything. It’s about intensity, movement and energy — showing the struggle but also the confidence that comes from embracing who you are and not trying to fit into someone else’s frame.”
The release signals AELEEN’s continued commitment to pushing creative boundaries. Having already carved a distinct niche in the contemporary music scene, the band uses ‘Misfits’ to reinforce their ethos: embracing difference, challenging norms, and connecting with listeners on a deeply personal level.
Fans can watch the music video now across all major platforms and stream the single on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services. AELEEN’s latest offering not only strengthens their catalogue but also confirms their reputation as a band unafraid to blend bold soundscapes with meaningful messages.
For fans and newcomers alike, ‘Misfits’ is both an anthem and an invitation—to embrace who you are, unapologetically.
