“Until the End and Beyond” marks the first official project created by Alessandra and Andrei Bănuță. This highly anticipated EP brings together two unmistakable voices in a refined musical endeavor. The EP comprises three songs that sensitively and intensely explore themes of love and deep connections.
Alessandra, whose real name is Alexandra Stanciu, has been singing since the age of four. She has had a harmonious relationship with the artistic world, also showing a passion for acting, performing on the stage of the Gheorghe Pastia Municipal Theatre in Focșani and winning over 15 trophies at national and international music festivals. Alessandra burst onto the music scene in 2015 with “Eres Mi Vida,” a song that quickly catapulted her into fans’ top favorites and caught the attention of the music industry. Her popularity crossed national borders, and her next single, “Khalia,” followed a similar successful path. Alessandra has also collaborated with artists such as Criss Blaziny (“Adio, Da’ Mă Întorc”) and Iana (“Aja Mara”). One of her latest releases, “Amanta ta,” quickly made its way into YouTube’s trending charts. Moreover, her recent collaboration with Theo Rose and DOMINO on “NU MĂ DUC LA CLUB” has been a hit, maintaining its place in the Top 10 Media Forest chart for five weeks. Her latest single is titled “Ultima Baladă.”
Alessandra and Andrei Bănuță, united not only by their talent but also by an authentic friendship, convey a captivating musical chemistry, transforming each note into an emotionally charged sound story. The three tracks – “Luna și Stelele,” “Dezastru,” and “Nu mă lași să te las” – speak of passion, unbreakable bonds, and feelings that leave a lasting mark on the soul. The artists will unveil each song in turn, with the first, “Luna și Stelele,” already launched alongside a special visual. This EP will take listeners on an emotional journey until the end… and even beyond.
The songs were written by Alessandra and Andrei Bănuță, along with Costel Dominteanu (DOMINO), Theodora-Maria Diaconu, Emanuel Masson, Loredana Cavasdan, and Alex Cotoi. The production of the songs was handled by Costel Dominteanu (DOMINO) for “Luna și Stelele,” Emanuel Masson for “Dezastru,” and Alex Cotoi for “Nu mă lași să te las.”
“‘Until the End and Beyond’ (The Trilogy) is like a story in three acts about love in each of its stages. We’ve all experienced these stages or are in one right now. We chose to tell a story that resonates and took inspiration from our lives and those around us. What makes this trilogy special for me is that I get to sing it with Andrei. We’ve written so many songs together, but none of them felt like they were for us. That’s why we decided to save this moment until we felt it was the right time. And we didn’t just make one song, but three. The first is called ‘Luna și Stelele,’ marking the beginning, where it feels like the whole world revolves around love. ❤️ We hope you’ll enjoy it. 🙏🏼” Alessandra shares.
“I’m extremely happy to be releasing the trilogy ‘Until the End and Beyond’ and to share with you some special songs based on real life, reflecting genuine relationships. This collaboration with Alessandra is a significant moment for us, as the trilogy story crowns years of writing and singing together. She has also been the inspiration behind the song about my mother, which holds a special meaning for me, among many others. We truly hope you’ll enjoy these songs as much as we do and that each of you will find a piece of your own story within them,” says Andrei Bănuță.
Andrei Bănuță is one of the most appreciated artists of his generation, with each release solidifying his place among listeners’ top choices. Though he discovered his love for music early in life, his participation in vocal training, competitions, and collaborations with Mattman Music have shaped his musical identity, evident in his creations through R&B and soul elements, combined with pop accents. A versatile artist, he alternates between meaningful, profound lyrics and upbeat, vibrant melodies.
In 2023, his successful collaboration with Andra on the song “Nu m-am gândit la despărțire” remained in the Top 10 Media Forest for 19 weeks, even reaching #1. His latest collaboration with DOMINO on “Afară plouă” was among the Top 10 most-listened-to radio songs for 12 weeks, peaking at #5. Additionally, he collaborated with the famous band Azur on “Suflet de bagabont,” which quickly trended on YouTube, and with Andreea Bănică on a reinterpretation of the song “Ai greșit.” Alongside his music career, Andrei is also a lead in the series “Groapa,” showcasing his versatility and talent in the artistic field.
