Lexi Lemonade stands at the forefront of a truly unique sound, which she has defined as “Ethereal Cyber Soul”. This bold invention takes elements of futuristic R&B, experimental electronica and cinematic alt-pop and puts forward something that sounds so completely fresh and forward-facing. You can hear Lexi’s sonic architecture in her latest single ‘Quake’, which is a sensual, late-night confession from the mind of someone on the brink of collapse. As this is the moment before the fall, this artist has traded in catchy hooks and dramatic crescendos for a restrained production, simmering melodies and a quietly magnetic vocal performance. Lexi’s voice in particular is a stand-out feature of ‘Quake’, which exposes a rare vulnerability through her hushed tones and paced delivery.

As the track progresses, those velvety synth pads and muted percussion leads the listener further into the shadowy recesses of feeling. It’s a slow-burn affair that allows those R&B textures and subtle Caribbean rhythms, both of which have been inspired by Lexi’s cultural upbringing, to gradually ripple out across the soundscape. ‘Quake’ isn’t about reaching a quick solution, this is about honest and earnest exploration of self-doubt, confidence, vulnerability and control. It’s clear that Lexi Lemonade prioritises soul and feeling over everything else.
