Riverwest-based singer-songwriter Allison Mahal has a knack for making songs that nestle into your brain and refuse to leave—and her newest single, “Noise,” is no exception.

Mahal’s journey to Milwaukee’s indie scene took her from the Chicago suburbs through a stint in Nashville before she finally landed in the Cream City, and honestly, Milwaukee is better for it. Since arriving, she’s carved out a space in the local music landscape with releases like “Winter” and the fan-favorite “18 Moving South,” earning features from Radio Milwaukee, WUWM, and Milwaukee Magazine along the way.

Her latest track clocks in at just over three-and-a-half minutes of driving, upbeat indie goodness. With an undeniable energy that practically demands you move, “Noise” lives up to its name without ever becoming chaotic. There’s a controlled electricity here—a warmth that permeates through her delivery and makes the whole thing feel effortlessly catchy.

If you’ve caught Mahal at Cactus Club or any of her local gigs, you already know she’s the real deal. And if you haven’t yet, this single makes for a perfect introduction.
