If you thought Alemeda couldn’t outdo herself after Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows—think again! The Ethiopian-Sudanese alt-pop queen hit us with another jaw-dropping performance of ‘I Already Dug Your Grave,’ and trust us, we felt it deep in our bones. From her fierce attitude that commands our attention, Alemeda gave us everything we could ever want. Right in time for spooky season, too, the vibes are unmatched. Here are four unforgettable moments from Alemeda’s COLORS performance, proving why she’s one of the most exciting alt-pop artists on the rise.
That Intense Opening That Unloads
The fast-paced and groovy intro of ‘I Already Dug Your Grave’ set the mood for what was about to be an emotional rollercoaster, blending her signature soft melodies with a dark, edgy vibe. The opening verse absolutely demolishes a past lover and has our jaws on the floor. By the time she started singing about it being too late to return, we were already emotionally invested—and she hadn’t even hit the chorus yet!
Alemeda’s Vocals
Alemeda seamlessly switches between a delicate bridge and powerful belts in this performance. The way she sings is raw and vulnerable. In ‘I Already Dug Your Grave,’ every vocal run felt like it carried years of frustration, pain, and empowerment.
The Funky Alt-Pop Beat
Alemeda’s alt-pop roots showed strong in this performance, and we love the guitar pairing and her vocals. It’s easily a song we can relate to on a deeper level because of the introspective lyrics, but we also have fun because of the alt-pop beat.
The Firm Ending (Yeah … She Cut Them Off)
Alemeda is never short on her confidence, and the way she builds her songs shows it. The dramatic ending that cuts off mirrors what she is singing about – cutting that toxic past off. It’s such a fun ending to the song that on first listen, we’re sad it’s over, but we’re also celebrating the fact she kept her word.
Alemeda continues to prove why she’s a force to be reckoned with in the alt-pop scene. If ‘I Already Dug Your Grave’ is any indication of what’s to come from her upcoming EP, we’re ready to have our hearts broken and healed all over again. This rising star is only just getting started, and we can’t wait to see what she does next! Over to you, how much are you loving Alemeda? Let us know in the comments, or tweet us at @thehoneypop!
