Alyssa Reid Drops “Up,” A Cross-Cultural Collab Featuring Seoul R&B Artist oceanfromtheblue
Alyssa Reid, born in Edmonton, AB, and raised in Brampton, ON, skyrocketed to fame with her #1 debut single Alone Again featuring P. Reign, which sold over a million copies worldwide. Since then, she has achieved three Platinum, three Gold, and one Silver certification, along with multiple Top 10 and Top 20 hits on Canadian pop radio. With over 100 million streams on her own music, Reid has toured internationally and built a dedicated fanbase drawn to her powerful vocals and emotive songwriting.
Beyond her success as an artist, Reid has made a name for herself as a sought-after songwriter, penning hits for artists like Virginia to Vegas, Bülow, and Alessia Cara. Her co-writes have accumulated over 500 million streams, cementing her as a major creative force in the pop industry. Balancing her own artistry with behind-the-scenes contributions, she continues to shape the modern pop landscape.
Alyssa Reid and oceanfromtheblue first met at a songwriting camp in Thailand, where their shared energy sparked a natural creative connection. What began as a song written for another artist evolved into “UP,” a playful yet tender ode to the nostalgia of an old love—the kind of sweetness and comfort everyone can relate to, even if it’s not an invitation to revisit toxic relationships. For Reid, the track represents a lighter, more feel-good side of her artistry, while for oceanfromtheblue, it offered a chance to reconnect with his emotions and deepen his creative process.
Blending Reid’s pop instincts with oceanfromtheblue’s warm vocals and R\&B-soul-indie sensibilities, “UP” becomes more than just a catchy single—it’s a cross-continental collaboration that resonates on a global scale. Known in Korea for his poetic lyricism and genre-bending sound, oceanfromtheblue brings depth to Reid’s bright melodies, creating a balance of intimacy and playfulness. Following recent singles like “seven,” “Never Going Home,” and “Put Your Phone Down,” “UP” continues to showcase Reid’s versatility and willingness to explore new sounds, solidifying both artists as boundary-pushing storytellers.
