London-based artist Pixia, drawing inspiration from 80s electronic pop and dark wave, continues to go from strength to strength on her exciting musical adventure. With roots in performing on both local and national stages from a young age, Pixia’s artistic journey has evolved from laptop recordings in her bedroom into a compelling fusion of dark pop elements capped by her stunning vocals.
Her debut EP, Morphia, released in 2021, saw Pixia unveil the first taste of her unique sonic output. The subsequent dark pop style single, “If I’m On Your Mind,” was met with critical acclaim from outlets like BBC Introducing, Great British Radio and A&R Factory.
Racking up over half a million streams of her music, Pixia’s struck a chord with fans around the world as she continues to share her compelling musical vision. Now, ahead of the release of her upcoming sophomore EP, she shares a new dimension of her sound with the recently released single titled “Boudoir Tears.”
Following the piano-driven ballad “Habits,” with “Boudoir Tears,” she takes her sound in a completely new direction. The single serves up a grooving alternative pop cut full of bright instrumentation, infectious energy and compelling vocal leads. Opened by playful piano plinks, gently dancing as Pixia’s smooth vocals enter, balancing melodic charm with subtly moody aesthetic.
With the punch of drums, the song launches into an instantly catchy pop anthem driven by pulsing bass guitar lines, snapping drums, vibrant synth tones and rhythmic vocal leads. Stripping the arrangement back for the breakdown, echoes of piano float in a sea of sonic texture as Pixia threads elegant melodies carrying poignant lyricism.
Building the tension with theatrical string flourishes, the song bursts into a final chorus, delivering an emphatic finale of Pixia’s latest sound, brimming with fierce originality, danceable energy and bags of commercial appeal. With her forthcoming EP on the horizon, Pixia is sure to continue her rise as a must watch artist in the UK music scene and beyond.
