Gianna Alessi Pulls the Plug on Fantasy Love with “It’s Only Heaven”

Alt R&B is drowning in pretty lies right now. Vibes over substance. Aesthetic over honesty. Gianna Alessi is not here for that. On “It’s Only Heaven,” she gently but firmly pulls the curtain back on romance built on projection, flattery, and emotional smoke screens.

The track floats in on sparkly keys and warm guitar lines, but do not confuse softness for weakness. Gianna’s honeyed vocals feel controlled, intentional, and emotionally awake. She sings like someone who has already done the self-reflection and is now watching someone else struggle to keep up. That quiet confidence is the song’s real power.

Produced by Gavi Grodsky, the groove is dreamy but grounded. Stacked vocals swirl without suffocating the mix, giving the song room to breathe. Daniel Neiman’s mix and Dan Millice’s mastering keep everything lush without slipping into background music territory. This is headphone music that still hits emotionally, not sonic wallpaper.

Lyrically, “It’s Only Heaven” questions why we romanticize connections that never actually see us. Gianna pushes back against love that sounds good but feels empty. She is not angry. She is awake. That distinction matters. The song lives in the tension between wanting to be desired and needing to be understood.

As the second single from her upcoming EP Soft n’ Lush, this track signals a project rooted in emotional presence, not algorithm chasing. In a culture addicted to speed and surface-level intimacy, Gianna Alessi is choosing depth. That choice alone makes her one to watch.
