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.

With personal lyrics recounting the end of an intense relationship, only to find it feels strange to talk to other women in a romantic way, his new single is an infectious blend of both modern and retro synth vibes. Taken from his upcoming EP “A Million You’s”, expected in the fall, it’s the invigorating beat, crisp fingersnaps and his fluid and emotive vocals that make this tune appealing to all ears.
