"Chapter" is a song that symbolizes Alé's musical identity and determination.
The song carries a message of choosing to live by your own voice rather than being bound by the expectations of others. It reminds listeners that it is okay to say no and to follow the path that feels true to themselves.
Built on an R&B foundation with elements of Funk, Soul, and Jazz, the track is elevated by the rich and sophisticated piano performance of Mayuko Katakura. A rap section in the middle of the song shifts the atmosphere dramatically, further highlighting Alé's dynamic vocal expression and presence.
The release includes three versions: the main vocal version, a version featuring additional backing vocals, and an instrumental version, offering listeners different perspectives on the song.
Alé is a singer-songwriter rooted in 90s R&B and Neo-Soul, blending elements of Soul and Jazz into a modern Alternative R&B sound. Her music is defined by delicate vocals, precise rhythm, and a non Japanese R and B feel, with lyrics moving fluidly between Japanese and English. She formed the team connect in 2019, released the mini album Ivy in 2020, appeared on The Karaoke Battle in 2021, and joined Nariaki Obukuro Japan Tour in 2022 including Fuji Rock Festival 22. In 2024 she founded connect Records, and in October 2025 released Chapter, which was selected for Spotify Editorial Playlist Groovin R and B. Through music she seeks to connect directly with listeners, inviting each person to awaken to their essence and live with their own voice.
