Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Alexis Onyango, aka LEX, has just released the bubbling neon chameleon that is her electro pop track “vodka soda.” Turn it on and bliss out as the chopped and screwed electro textures titillate and transport your consciousness. Effervescent audio samples dance with rubbery bright synths before Onyango’s pure-toned pop vocals pierce the swirling maelstrom and hold your heart like the gaze of your summer crush. She sings about the kind of love that’ll have you listening to music you hate just to be with them. The production is filled with nostalgic and saccharine electro blurts, bursts, and edits that echo deep into your young heart and animate your hips, toes, and head until you’re doing a dance that feels like the manifestation of the ghosts from summers past and present. The intricate single builds on the work of LEX who has released singles “Skin Off My Back” in 2019 and “One Kiss” in 2021, which was featured on Fresh Finds. Fans of Billie Eillish, Annie, and Robyn will find lots to love on this new single.
Listen to “vodka soda” from LEX now on Spotify, Apple Music, and Soundcloud.
