Lead single “Alone” is out May 14 on all major streaming platforms.
NEW YORK, NY / MusicWire / May 11, 2026 -- Laji George, the dynamic frontman of Pseutopia, is carving out his own sonic territory with his debut solo venture. Shaped by the vibrant, diverse streets of New York City—a place he has called home since immigrating there as a young adolescent—George channels the raw energy and authenticity of his beloved city into every note. His musical DNA is deeply rooted in the ’90s grunge movement, delivering that unmistakable heavy, introspective undertone that defined a generation.
His acclaimed cover of “Seasons”—a heartfelt tribute to Chris Cornell, recorded with his band Pseutopia—has earned its place as a modern grunge classic. The track features a powerhouse collaboration between Pseutopia and legendary former Pearl Jam drummer David Abbruzzese. While his work with Pseutopia showcases his collaborative spirit, this solo project reveals a more intimate, contemplative side of his artistry. George’s songwriting prowess shines through in deeply personal lyrics paired with soulful, accessible melodies that transcend genre boundaries, positioning him as an artist capable of connecting with diverse audiences across the musical spectrum.
“Alone,” set for release on May 14, 2026, marks Laji George’s powerful debut as a solo artist and serves as the lead single from his highly anticipated album “Out of Line,” scheduled for later this year. Born from a profound moment of isolation and disconnection, the track captures raw emotional vulnerability while maintaining the grunge and rock sensibilities George aims to revive in today’s musical landscape. Recorded in his adopted hometown of New York City during a creative period spanning several years—beginning at the tail end of the COVID shutdowns—the song represents authentic artistic evolution. Written alongside material originally intended for Pseutopia, George recognized that these deeply personal compositions demanded their own spotlight.
