Spanish/American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alexa Dark unleashes the femme fatale within her on haunting track “Villain,” carried by ethereal vocal lines laid over a stripped back soundscape to weave an intricate and alluring tale that reflects upon the realisation that you might be the villain of your own story.
Everyone wants to be the hero of their own life’s story, but subverting this common narrative and introspecting on self-sabotage, the track is not quite as dark as it seems, the poignant lyricism letting us know that it’s okay to embrace the shadowy parts of yourself without feeling bad about it.
Accompanied by a music video that compliments the labyrinth-like theme of the track, we’re transported into a retro Bond-movie world, with vivid imagery of a twisted yet seductive villain origin story coming to life.
The lead track of her upcoming debut EP, the unique noir alt-pop soundscape and cinematic visuals of this latest offering establish Alexa Dark as an act to keep on your radar.
