LEXXE’s debut album, A Haunted Home, is a spellbinding descent into the shadowy realms of pop, the place dance beats meet the uncanny. The album is a completely darkish, seductive, and visible temper. With eerie but engaging groves, it weaves digital parts right into a tapestry of pulsating rhythms that invite listeners to lose themselves within the haze. The main focus monitor, “All Black Mansion,” serves as an ideal instance of LEXXE’s creative duality, pairing atmospheric manufacturing with an irresistible hook, making it unattainable to flee the hypnotic attract of her distinctive sound.
Earlier than the album dropped, followers acquired a style with the hit singles “Labyrinth” and “Queen of the Evening.” With traces like “So divine / Her eyes on mine / One ultimate chill runs down my backbone / I’m letting her inside,” LEXXE crafts a darkish, seductive narrative that looks like a love affair with hazard. It’s lush, it’s addictive, and it’s one of many standout moments on a document that refuses to accept the odd. Making Labyrinth her largest launch to this point resulting in a extremely anticipated debut album.
I requested LEXXE the way it feels now that the album is out and receiving suggestions:
“It looks like a door opened once I launched the album—a metaphorical door to my future. It reassures me that my love for this album is attracting the appropriate viewers. I additionally really feel an enormous sense of reduction as a result of now I can actually begin displaying everybody what it’s all about. I really feel superb.”
Reflecting on the album, LEXXE says, “I wrote a poem final 12 months that began with ‘A haunted home is the place useless issues go to dwell,’ and it saved arising for me in classes, so I knew that was the album idea. I’ve all the time used phrases just like the ‘afterlife’ or a ‘haunted place’ for our minds. I’m fascinated by how we stock previous experiences with us, buried till one thing, possibly worry, brings them again. This album is about confronting these private ghosts, turning them into one thing actual, and placing all of it down on paper.”
A Haunted Home is a daring, intoxicating invitation into LEXXE’s world—the place pop, the supernatural, and uncooked emotion collide to create one thing actually haunting. Excellent for this season, put together to be thrilled.
