Max Allais clocks up more than 1M streams in less than two weeks on new single

Tuesday 14 January 2025

NZ pop artist Max Allais has reached more than a million listeners in under 2 weeks with his new single ‘When The Party Ends’... 1.28 million listeners to be precise!

A great way to kick off 2025 after finsihing 2024 with the nationwide Springboard Tour , a initiative desgined to expose fresh talent.
 
‘When The Party Ends’  is a fresh new sound for the emerging artist - who has a TikTok following of more than 3 Million.
 
“The song is about wanting to get lost with someone special. It’s that mix of emotions you feel when you’re at a party, wanting the night to keep going, but also wanting to leave and be alone with them,” says Max. 
 
Written and recorded on a writing camp in the US, Max recalls working with Nashville-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Evan Cline, who has worked with the likes of Teddy Swims, gavn! and Tanner Adell.
 
“I wanted to write something a little different from the previous sessions during the week. I wanted it to sound upbeat and fun. Evancame up with a very cool sounding guitar as soon as I walked into the studio. We all started moving around in the studio bumping off each other and coming up with melodies. The first lyric “can we slow dance will the party ends” came out very quickly and we knew instantly that it had to be the first line of the chorus. That's where the title of the song “when the party ends” came from. The session just felt very fun and free.”
 
The accompanying video was shot at the Civic Theatre in Invercargill by renowned NZ videographer Taine Noble. Watch here
 
“The Civic Theatre in Invercargill provided this beautiful, timeless backdrop. The idea is that as the night progresses, the party scene transitions into more personal moments, mirroring the emotions in the song. The video is in black and white, which adds a sense of timelessness and allows the focus to stay on the raw emotions and the energy of the night as if you were at a party.”
 
‘When The Party Ends’ is the latest in a string of winning singles from Max Allais. Check out ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Lost In Love’, which were both released towards the end of 2024.
