Pop’s most promising newcomers Pixxy Lua drops off her shimmering new single ‘Electric’.
The smooth new single shows off her amazing vocals as she floats over the Big Zeeko produced track packed with swirling synths, punchy drums and atmospheric sounds, creating the perfect backdrop for Pixxy to lay her vocals. The track has hints of SZA and Chloe x Halle, yet is dashed with a celestial quality that is uniquely Pixxy Lua.
In a press release Pixxy Lua stated “To me, Electric is a personal song in which novelty is romanticised” Pixxy explains “It ‘glorifies’ the unfamiliar and idealises a state of mind where one does not worry about balance in life. The song captures the moment you realise you’re currently happy- consciously trying to savour the feeling- which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart and put it into context, where it will slowly dissolve until it’s little more than an aftertaste, the beauty in the acceptance of the ‘coming down’ . It’s one of the first 3 songs I made; I had just begun living alone and exploring London and all parts of her city and people. I think the song translated all my feelings at that time”.
The Sao Paulo born singer-songwriter relocated to North West London at a young age, where she quickly became immersed in the rich musical and artistic culture of the capital. Enamoured by the eclectic and experimental, she borrowed from her love of poetry and painting to begin writing her discography, and her early work was heavily influenced by country, folk and Irish music. Counting Kate Bush, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Kurt Cobain as her biggest inspirations, the blend of genres is an aspect evident within her style, and keeps everybody on their toes as to which new musical avenue she will explore next.
An achingly cool new artist to watch out for, Pixxy Lua is just getting started.
