LEXXEâs debut album, A Haunted House, is a spellbinding descent into the shadowy realms of pop, where dance beats meet the uncanny. The album is a totally dark, seductive, and visual mood. With eerie yet enticing groves, it weaves electronic elements into a tapestry of pulsating rhythms that invite listeners to lose themselves in the haze. The focus track, “All Black Mansion,” serves as a perfect example of LEXXE’s artistic duality, pairing atmospheric production with an irresistible hook, making it impossible to escape the hypnotic allure of her unique sound.
Before the album dropped, fans got a taste with the hit singles âLabyrinthâ and âQueen of the Night.â With lines like âSo divine / Her eyes on mine / One final chill runs down my spine / Iâm letting her inside,â LEXXE crafts a dark, seductive narrative that feels like a love affair with danger. Itâs lush, itâs addictive, and itâs one of the standout moments on a record that refuses to settle for the ordinary. Making Labyrinth her biggest release to date leading to a highly anticipated debut album.
I asked LEXXE how it feels now that the album is out and receiving feedback:
“It feels like a door opened when I released the albumâa metaphorical door to my future. It reassures me that my love for this album is attracting the right audience. I also feel a huge sense of relief because now I can really start showing everyone what itâs all about. I feel amazing.”
Reflecting on the album, LEXXE says, âI wrote a poem last year that started with âA haunted house is where dead things go to live,â and it kept coming up for me in sessions, so I knew that was the album concept. Iâve always used terms like the âafterlifeâ or a âhaunted placeâ for our minds. Iâm fascinated by how we carry past experiences with us, buried until something, maybe fear, brings them back. This album is about confronting those personal ghosts, turning them into something real, and putting it all down on paper.â
A Haunted House is a bold, intoxicating invitation into LEXXEâs worldâwhere pop, the supernatural, and raw emotion collide to create something truly haunting. Perfect for this season, prepare to be thrilled.
