Micki XO drops music video

Portland-based pop artist Micki XO dreams of traveling the world and connecting with her fans through her transportive lyricism. After overcoming her own struggles, with her music acting as the vehicle of her positive journey, she hopes to inspire others to be saved by the power of music too.

Covering a range of topics such as mental health, relationships and practicing self-love, she draws on her own real world experiences to convey a sense of authenticity through her honest and thoughtful songwriting. With a string of singles released over the last two years, she’s made an impression with her catchy electronic dream pop sound which has also seen her take to the stage and bring her songs to live audiences at venues all over Oregon.

Her most recent release was her latest single titled “Light Me Up”, a cathartic sonic exploration of the artist’s previous struggles with addiction which came about as a form of escaping problems. On this beat-driven house pop cut, her emotive vocal delivery lays down an empowering sound that highlights the darkness she’s been through and the regret she’s felt.

Paired with the new single comes Micki XO’s first official music video. Directed by Ryan Chisesi, the video journeys through the perfect visual representation of the meaning behind the music. Capturing the emotions that build up to the escapism, intertwined with hazy and chaotic scenes as the night unfolds, with her new single and music video, Micki XO shares a powerful song full of energy and an important message.
