Rockville, Maryland-born and Shippensburg, Pennsylvania-based pop rock musician, Alexia Christian, is not here to play games with her new single “Single Life,” which released March 18.
“’Single Life’ is about the celebration of being single. We live in a world where being single is not always accepted,” Christian writes. “This song exemplifies the strength to move on from the wrong relationship, self-love, and finding your self-worth.” With a simple backbeat and autotuned harmonies, this is a song that oozes the feel-good vibes that pop music has to offer. “Whether you’re single or not, this song has a message for you!” Christian notes.
As she moves through the verses, there’s a terse judgment of a person’s dating habits being far too loose and unrestrained. When returning to the chorus mantra of “I just want to see what’s good tonight / I just want to see what’s up tonight,” there’s an allusion to the ways that she checks up on this person to see if they’re still up to no good.
Alexia Christian will be attending the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall Of Fame Awards Ceremony on March 24 for which she was nominated for the category of Best Female Solo Artist, and will debut this new song at the Relax Lounge in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania on Friday April 8.
“Single Life” is available on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Follow our Alchemical Multigenre Mixdown playlist for more great music featured on the site.
