Songwriter Craig Raybould has stepped out from the shadows—but not into the spotlight himself. Instead, he’s introduced Alexis Barotelli, a virtual vocalist designed to perform his deeply personal, human-written songs.

The debut single, “Second Chance,” is a soulful pop ballad about love finding its way back after heartbreak. Fragile, emotive vocals float over cinematic instrumentation, creating a sound that blends the intimacy of artists like Freya Ridings and Birdy with the intrigue of a voice that doesn’t technically exist, yet feels strikingly real.

“Second Chance” is part of Alexis’s debut album, The Moon Fell Down, now available on all major streaming platforms. While Alexis may be virtual, the emotions woven into her songs are undeniably and deeply human.
