After charting at #1 on SiriusXM’s Indigenous Music Countdown, pop/R&B Indigenous talent ALEXIS LYNN, shares her highly anticipated single, ‘RIP ME,’. The track is a poignant exploration of the complexities of heartbreak, blending infectious melodies with anthemic lyrics that resonate with so many on a deeply emotional level.
In her new offering, Alexis lays bare the raw and authentic frustration that can come with the aftermath of a breakup. The song delves into the struggles of moving on, the pain of letting go, and the journey towards self-discovery and healing. With powerful vocals and a compelling track, Alexis invites fans into her personal experience while also providing a universally relatable narrative.
Sharing her thoughts on the upcoming release, Alexis spills, “‘RIP ME’ is a reflection of my personal journey through trying to move on from heartbreak, and I wanted to create a song that captures the frustration of that experience. I think it’s a universally relatable experience, whether your ex did something wrong or not, it’s natural to have a stage of frustration in trying to get over somebody.”
As Alexis Lynn continues to make waves in the music industry, ‘RIP ME’ is poised to be a standout addition to her growing discography. Have a listen below…
LA-based genre-bender ASHA IMUNO deciphers mixed signals and hits the mute button on relationship drama with the release of his new whip-appeal single ‘PHONICS’, featuring Long Beach, CA natives WESTSIDE BOOGIE and Tempest. This sharp, bouncy co-production by Asha and Zach Ezzy (Jordan Ward, Smino, Alex Isley) captures a reimagined, West Coast hip-hop feel, as the interplay between the rich overtones of world-renowned harpist Sara Kawai’s harp and the punchy 808s strike a harmonious balance. Asha’s sonic world straddles the edge between nostalgia and innovation, drawing inspiration from California legends like Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q, Suga Free, Bino Rideaux, Blxst and Anderson Paak.
“‘PHONICS’ is a song about relationships that end up getting more complicated than what was originally intended, but it’s not a heady, sappy type of song,” explains Asha. “I used to obsess over BOOGIE’s storytelling in highschool and Tempest is all around one of my favorite artists coming up out of California. We made this song for the whip and the house parties. It’s got this feeling and bounce in it that you could only get from the West Coast.”
In addition to the new single, Asha shares the delivery date of his debut album PINS & NEEDLES, out March 1st, 2024. This news follows acclaim from media tastemakers at Pigeons and Planes, The Line of Best Fit and more, all who have shared their respective excitement for the full-length project.
“I’m hoping the listener can feel more of me peeking through the music with every song I share. ‘PUSHING BUTTONS’ is about shame and redemption, ‘DID I CALL AT A BAT TIME?’ is cheeky and confident, ‘FLORIDA WATER’ is about love-nostalgia and ‘PHONICS’ is more of my imperfect, irritated, reactive side. It’s all about showing that I’m a real person with strengths, weaknesses, habits and contradictions,” says Asha on the steady progression of the introspective world he’s shared thus far.
Asha’s cult following was ignited with his breakout single ‘ZIG ZAGGING,’ which has accumulated over 11 million streams on Spotify. His innovative spirit has led to recent career milestone moments, including performing at A Toast To Black Hollywood during this year’s BET Awards. He is a member of the POC-led artist community KOGO (home to CONNIE, Alé Araya, Curtis Waters, KOAD & more), and has earned co-signs from the likes of Jordan Ward and Hit-Boy, alongside collaborating with buzzing upcomers like Aaron May and AG Club. 2024 is sure to be the year Asha makes the jump from fan favorite to commanding superstar with his bold debut.
