Pixey has shared her new track 'Give A Little Of Your Love', a "heartfelt plea for love"
The track features on her debut album 'Million Dollar Baby'.
Liverpool-based up-and-comer Pixey has released a new track, 'Give A Little Of Your Love'.
It's taken from her upcoming debut album 'Million Dollar Baby', set for release on 2nd August via Chess Club Records, and was written, produced, and performed entirely by Pixey herself.
Discussing the new song, Pixey says: "I'm not one to write about romantic love usually - I often find it's been written about far too much, but I actually found myself drawn towards this sentiment when I was writing over the instrumental of this song to try and make sense of feelings I had at the time (which doesn't happen very often)."
She adds: "I pitched an old royalty free sample in Ableton and threw a drum loop over the top, then went in and added hi-hats, midi synth and programmed strings. It nods to William Onyeabor's 'Atomic Bomb', a track that sparked my initiation into music. This song is a heartfelt plea for love, beautifully uncomplicated."
Of the album, Pixey explains: "This album is more than just music to me, it's the final form of years of trying to prove myself. I've always felt as if I'm so close to something but never quite there. This is the story the album tells; navigating the perception of myself through the male gaze, whilst also trying to take some power back and form my truest identity. The sentiment of the album is this: the path to fulfilment isn't a performance for others but instead, is a journey of becoming your authentic self."
