Marxoxo releases new single “Fate”

Marxoxo is a pioneering alternative pop artist who continues to redefine her music with her latest single “Fate,” featuring Ienne. As an independent trans pinay pop artist, model and actress, Mar Omega, the artist behind Marxoxo, infuses her music with honest writing and unapologetic energy, embodying the spirit of a pop princess with a unique edge.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Charli XCX and Britney Spears, Marxoxo crafts a thoroughly original sonic offering. Beyond music, she actively contributes to the LGBTQA+ communities, organising concert nights at Club XOXO and amplifying the energy of the San Francisco music scene.

Since her debut single “Party Boy” in 2017, Marxoxo has consistently impressed with a string of stellar singles, remixes and EPs, working with a diverse range of artists along the way. Her impact on both the pop and alternative spheres shines through notable mentions on Tidal’s editorial playlist and appearances at events like Sacramento Pride and San Francisco Trans Pride.

Now, following the success of her recent single “Suck U Succubus,” Marxoxo now brings us her latest release, this time linking up with Ienne on the brand new single “Fate.” Lifted from her upcoming record titled Catbox, the new single showcases the more tender side of Mar’s artistic expression, delivered via a drum and bass inspired electronic pop outing.

Revolving around a love story, the two artists bring to life a sincere queer romance wrapped up in an exhilarating hyperpop-tinged soundscape. Started off with silky pulses of lush synth tones and hushed pitched vocal samples usher in Marxoxo’s delicate voice, drifting melodies give way to uptempo energy as the lively jump of the beat drops. Spinning storytelling lyricism as the beat rises to crunching breakbeat rhythms before dropping down to a dreamy minimalistic moment, the elegant vocal leads hover above a colourful arrangement before launching into an instantly catchy chorus.

Blending relentless energy from the beat with an atmospheric synth-driven arrangement capped by shimmering vocals, “Fate” delivers an enveloping storyline via an epic slice of alternative pop that showcases the talents of Marxoxo and Ienne. Paired with the single is a music video written by Gienel Agcaoili, shot by Nat Souza and edited by Alex Cao that features both the artists as lovers striving to be together captured through vibrant hues and a lo-fi aesthetic.

Commenting on the single, Marxoxo shares, “Radical love to me is about love unconditionally without the expectation for it to be reciprocated. It’s a lifestyle, it’s a philosophy, it’s a choice. I recently lost someone super special to me who showed and nurtured me with that kind of love… and my grieving has really reaffirmed and crystallized what I’ve learned… And that’s something special and unique that I’ve only ever experienced in queer love. So, thank you…”
