LEXXE haunts the dancefloor with sentimental dark-pop anthem “X”

Queens-based singer-songwriter and dancer LEXXE steps into deeply personal territory with her new dark-pop single, “X,” a swirling, emotional tribute to her late father, Xavier, who passed away 20 years ago. Released on his birthday, January 29th,  “X” is a diary entry set to music, breathing catharsis into every beat.

From the opening synths, “X” evokes a nostalgic and moody soundscape, where disco glimmers meet melancholic undercurrents. The production is laced with shadowy elegance, pairing brooding basslines with shimmering electronic textures that transport the listener into a dancefloor dream soaked in memory and longing.

LEXXE’s vocals are the heartbeat of the record, soft yet powerful, raw yet controlled. She sings with conviction, her voice carrying a vulnerability that hits right in the chest. Her lyrical storytelling feels confessional and intimate, painting a vivid picture of grief, reflection, and the passage of time. Lines like “I see your face in the crowd” and “I still dance in your light” capture the enduring presence of a loved one gone too soon, making the song not only deeply personal but widely relatable.

What makes “X” stand out is its duality, yet it moves. The beat pulses like a celebration of life, while the lyrics tug at grief’s most tender threads. It’s this balance of sorrow and rhythm that aligns LEXXE with contemporary dark-pop artists like Jade LeMac, Zosia, and Ari Abdul, while still carving out a distinct space for her voice.

With “X,” LEXXE opens a portal to shared emotion, inviting listeners to dance through their memories. It’s a bold, beautifully produced glimpse into the next chapter of her artistry, promising more emotionally potent and genre-blending music to come.
