Raleigh-based artist Apollo1 has delivered a striking new piece of art titled “Still Alive”, which officially debuted on February 9, 2026. Released under the SoundPulse Record Label, the track is a raw window into the musician’s past, tackling heavy subjects with rare poise. The song centers on a period of addiction and despair, highlighting the transformative power of a relationship that helped him survive those dark moments.
The production is impressively clear, benefiting from a personal collaboration in which Apollo1 wrote and composed the music, while a close friend handled mixing and mastering. This organic approach translates into a sound that feels both intimate and professional. The imagery of “paradise and destiny” balances the heavy themes, creating an atmosphere that is both hopeful and honest.
With plans to bring his music to the stage at Athfest in Georgia this summer, Apollo1 is clearly ready to expand his reach. “Still Alive” is a bold,authentic statement that proves the most moving art often stems from our most private challenges. If you appreciate music with a real story and a heartbeat, this single is an essential addition to your collection. It marks the start of a very promising chapter for this North Carolina talent.
