In The Spotlight

XANA – “babyblue”

Based in Vancouver and born to music-loving parents, this Canadian singer, songwriter and musician first picked up the violin aged 5. She started singing lessons aged 10 and added guitar and piano to her skill set. Five years ago she created a make-shift studio in her bedroom and began making demos. Influenced by Avril Lavigne, Halsey and Taylor Swift, she released her debut “Goddess” in 2020.

Tugging at your heartstrings by capturing the realization of getting older and the passing of time, her new single combines poignant lyrics with a vibrant melody. Opening with an invigorating driving beat and her powerful, storytelling vocals, it’s the buoyant pop-rock chorus, the lively guitars and touches of synths that give this polished groove a layer of sonic passion and intimate nostalgia.
