Review: "Sixth Sense" - XOLA

“Sixth Sense” by XOLA was released on September 6th, 2024. The moody pop track explores the moment of finally recognizing the bad signs in someone and knowing that you cannot continue with them. XOLA was prompted to write this track because of her frustrations in a toxic relationship. Sometimes, we get a feeling that this person we are trying to see the best in just isn't worth it and isn't going to change. Inspired by artists like Griff, Troye Styrke, and Amelia Moore, XOLA is committed to blending electro-pop sounds with her Scandinavian roots. If you are looking for new music to add to your streaming library, definitely check this track out.






As the track begins, XOLA sings, "When you call my name / Now your eyes don't look the same and your voice has changed." Right away, she brings us into the sudden realization that this person is not who she wanted them to be. It is matched with a darker, synth-pop production that continues through the rest of the track. The refrain "when it's all good, it's not good enough / say you're gonna change, but I know you're not / got a sixth sense" shows her finally being fed up with this person and realizing that this relationship is not healthy. For anyone that has been in her position, it is the perfect anthemic track to sing along to as you move on to better things.



Pop newcomer XOLA is a singer-songwriter based in Copenhagen, Denmark, making her mark on the Danish music scene. Her first concert performance was at Spot Festival in 2022. Now, "Sixth Sense" comes as her debut single after years of developing her songwriting craft, following up her feature on ANDROZONE's "Anymore" released earlier this year.
