Meet singer, songwriter, and producer Alexandra Skora, who draws inspiration from her life and the world around her to explore profound questions: What does it mean to grow up? How do we become the people we want to be?
Skora’s recent single, “Picket Fence Girl,” is an indie folk track that challenges the ideals and tropes society often imposes—whether it’s the “girl next door,” the “perfect prim and proper girl,” or similar expectations.
Lyrically, the song reflects Skora’s feelings of never quite fitting in, yet it offers grace in embracing that as okay.
The track blends harmonically rich vocals with minimal yet immersive string arrangements, creating a soundscape that steadily builds and crashes powerfully at the end.
The repeating refrain, “I know your type,” lingers long after the track finishes, highlighting both vulnerability and resilience in a strikingly captivating way.
