“I decided to return to singing in English and to dance music after many years because I managed to overcome personal challenges,” Alexia confides. “Above all, I felt tired. At some point, I was exhausted from the 140 bpm beats and the events in nightclubs,” she continues. “I studied opera singing, delved deeper into music, and explored bel canto. It felt like a waste to limit my voice to a single genre, especially when being considered ‘too commercial’ made me feel terrible. That was one of the key reasons that pushed me away from this genre.” A period of crisis, then, followed by clarity that comes with age—and even more with experience: “Over time, I made peace with the young and reckless Alexia who threw herself into this career with great passion but didn’t reckon with the price to pay. Once I overcame these fears, I felt immense pressure from my audience to return to my old love, so it felt natural for me to try singing in English again and return to my genre—the one that brought me so much success: dance music”.
In this light, it’s not just a comeback but a kind of rebirth—a rebirth symbolized by I Feel Feelings, her new single: “It’s the common thread that connects who I was with who I want to be. I want to sing dance music and send specific messages. In this case, I’m telling younger generations not to be afraid of their emotions, to name them, to seek help or help themselves in doing so, and to face them because they make us grow.” The track was born from a collaboration with the electronic dance music group Dragonette: “When they sent me this idea, I embraced it immediately because I felt it had all the qualities that reminded me of the Alexia of the past while also encompassing the Alexia of today and tomorrow.”
