“Alyssa Bernal Does Not Need Imagination For A Love Hangover”
Posted on November 5, 2011 • Filed in Article
It has already been five years that Alyssa Bernal started to post her own videos on YouTube and got signed by NERD’s Pharrell Williams. Last year she announced her debut album to be titled ‘In Love Again For The First Time’ but strangely enough never was released. Thankfully this time it is finally happening on November 15th with the release of her debut album ‘Love Hangover’ which include her current single ‘Soaking Up The Sun’.
To celebrate this fact she is offering her song ‘Imagination’ for free and a tweet on her website. After all this time I guess it is worth it so what are you waiting for?
Love Hangover was recorded in London with the help of Martin Terefe, and features current single “Soaking Up The Sun.” In the video below she announces her debut album and after a few minutes she will cover Rihanna’s hit-single ‘We Found Love’.
Alyssa Bernal biography
For Alyssa, music comes about as naturally as breathing. The singer/songwriter was raised in a music-steeped household in San Antonio, Texas. During her childhood, Alyssa’s father was the drummer for groundbreaking Tejano band, and at the age of six she stood backstage and gazed out at stadium-sized crowds as he performed. The experience didn’t exactly ignite her passion for performing, though. “I was so shy!” Remembers Alyssa with a laugh, “my parents would dress me up and make me sing but I hated it.”
Somehow, her love of music overcame her fear of performing. By the time she was a teen in San Antonio, Alyssa uploaded a few homemade videos of herself singing cover songs like Rihanna’s “Take a Bow.” She taught herself to play guitar, and soon one video lead to dozens, and a rapidly-growing fan base around the globe. “People would message me and say that they had a horrible day and my songs changed their day,” Alyssa recalls. “It’s pretty touching. After a while I had to stop reading all of my messages because it got so overwhelming, but I always tried to open the ones from soldiers in the service.”
Next thing she knew, Alyssa and her mother had relocated to London, where she worked closely with Terefe over a period of seven weeks. Terefe developed Alyssa’s naturally sunny sound, enlivening her pop sensibility with notes of funk and soul. Most importantly, he encouraged Alyssa to write from her own experiences.
“The songs reflect what I was going through at that time,” says Alyssa of the resulting album, In Love Again For the First Time. “Because it’s my first album, the songs are very naïve and personal. They are about long-distance love, missing home, and the tone is very easy-going.” Alyssa has a natural ability to breathe vivid imagery into everyday matters of the heart. Her first experience of homesickness became “Raincloud Gray,” a collaboration with Grammy Award-winning artist and songwriter KT Tunstall. “One Of Us,” featuring Pharrell, is a sassy, danceable track dedicated to a young crush. “Stay” is an atmospheric ballad that plays like a love letter to her long-distance boyfriend. “Hold Me Tight,” a duet with Jason Wade of LifeHouse, is a moody, orchestral song.
From the shy girl who watched her father perform from the wings, to the confident young woman about to release an incredibly personal collection of songs to the world, Alyssa has come a long way. When she looks forward to the coming year, she can’t wait to step out on stage. “I’m really growing as a person and an artist,” says Alyssa. “I have a shy personality but when I’m performing, I calm down… I’m excited to tour and to interact with my fans. They’re always asking me, ‘When are you going to come to London or Paris?’ and I can’t wait to do that for them.” Though it’s been an incredible, globe-hopping year that has brought In Love Again For the First Time to life, Alyssa Bernal’s journey is just getting started.

Reminder of Love Hangover release!
Posted on November 5, 2011 • Filed in Videos
Alyssa posted a new video and apparently deleted the old one. She tells us about Love Hangover’s release, on November 15th, and the free download of Imagination, which by the way, is fantastic! It’s different, but still totally Alyssa-y! Make sure to get it!
Listen to “Imagination”

Click here to listen to Alyssa’s new free song, Imagination. It is not on her album, “Love Hangover”, but it is nonetheless amazing! I received it yesterday and it’s stuck in my head! You’ve got to download it on her official site now!
Download “Imagination” for free!
Posted on November 4, 2011 • Filed in Music
If you go on Alyssa’s official site, you can get a free download of a new song called “Imagination”. You just have to share it on Facebook or Twitter, give your email and wait for it! I still haven’t received it yet, but I guess it’ll take some time. Lyss describes it as a “groovy, psychedelic song” and I can’t wait for it!
“Dont Let Girls Play iPhone Games”

Alyssa starred in a short movie with his friends Saagar and Saamir Shaikh. It’s pretty funny and Lyss is a quite good actress! Check it out!
Infos on first album “Love Hangover”
I have a few news and videos for you. First, Alyssa’s first album, that was named “In Love Again For The First Time” has now changed to Love Hangover. Personally, I prefer this new name, it’s shorter and as sweet. Also, it will be available digitally on November 15th, 2011, as announced and in physical copies a little bit later at stores like Wal-Mart and more. Second, Tarek Haywood-Vaughters, from JR Photography, with whom Alyssa has worked quite often, posted on his Facebook account that his pictures will be used for the cover. So, can we expect a new photoshoot or is it something we’ve seen before? Third, she will be promoting it in Los Angeles, as I have told you, very soon and has already started her local promotion at places like San Antonio Living.
Below are two videos in which she talks about her album release and covers Rihanna’s We Found Love (a song that she currently loves, according to her Tumblr) and where she sings Soaking up the Sun with Lyle at SA Living. She looks absolutely stunning in both of them. Enjoy!
Promoting “In Love Again For The First Time”
Posted on October 31, 2011 • Filed in News/Rumors
On her Tumblr, Alyssa announced that her first album, In Love Again For The First Time would officially come out on November 25th, 2011 instead of November 1st, as previously said. We’re sad that it’s being postponed, but hopefully, it’ll be the last time! Also, she answered a fan by saying that she will be promoting it in Los Angeles with a “huge press run”. We really can’t wait!
NOVEMBER 15th!! My album drops.
Final date. I promise. hahaha. I will be making a video for YouTube announcing it. SAVE THE DATE!

Posted on October 28, 2011 • Filed in Photoshoots, Pictures
I’ve just added 7 new pictures, including 5 photoshoot pictures, all by the very talented Emily Yanez! Actually, there’s one of them that I’m not sure, but I put it in there anyway. If you could tell me the photographer, it’d be great! Two of them are from a new shoot and the other ones are just updates. I have also added two personal pictures. Alyssa really looks gorgeous on all of them. Enjoy!
