Music Tells A Story
Alexa Givens wants to make music that lasts. Raised on jazz standards and vocal powerhouses like Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande, Givens strives to create "vibrant colors" with her music, exploring dissonant harmony, crunchy chords, and vocal stacking. "Music is a time capsule for different eras of life," Givens says. "I want to be able to teleport people." Growing up in the suburbs of Maryland, Givens got her start singing in church, eventually becoming a vocalist for the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Youth Orchestra. Her varied influences, combined with her natural instinct for harmony, create the timeless sound of her first single "Broken Record": A featherlight pop song with hints of R&B and a youthful glow. "I’m trying to chase that tingly feeling I get from hearing certain pieces of music. Her follow up release "Screw You": Highlights her clever songwriting in the quintessential break up song. In 2022, Givens was a featured artist on a Grammy-nominated project, and is attending Berklee College of Music on a full Presidential Scholarship. The 20-year old singer-songwriter-instrumentalist makes music with unabashed joy, and breathes new life into the genres she grew up on.
SCREW YOU
‘Screw You’ is the most blunt and unapologetic break up tune you’ll ever find. It's an anti-sad breakup song with striking lyrics and guitar chords that not only serve as a guide to breaking up with your toxic partner, but also the wittiest and classiest way to cuss them out when you do it, so listen with caution. The sentiment is in the name; you're upset, you're not sorry about it, and you're letting them know it by telling them straight to the face, Screw You!
