Review: "your girl" - Lexi Bee

Lexi Bee's "your girl" comes to terms with the feeling of being replaced in a relationship with someone new. A memory sparked by "two pairs of shoes at the door," the narrator reflects on past moments in her relationship. The singer compares herself to a rabbit stuck in a trap set by her old lover. Comparing herself to the new girl in her ex's life, "she's got a way of being, no she isn't like the rest." Exploring inevitable feelings that come along with moving on, Lexi Bee's latest alt pop single will resonate with many listeners. Originating with the concept of the rabbit in the trap, Lexi said that the rest of the song followed organically.

The opening of "your girl" begins in a whirlwind of siren-esque music that flows into guitar strumming. Steady drums and Lexi Bee's smooth, enticing voice follow. The song drops to bare instrumentation emphasizing Bee's higher register and emotional lyrics. Her sweet vocal stacks ask hauntingly, "and what will your neighbors think of me when i'm no longer your girl?" Navigating a new role for herself outside of the relationship she was in, the song artfully deals with coming to terms with a new version of yourself. Tastefully moving through varying dynamics of vocal tone and instrumentation, the song mirrors the journey of accepting being replaced in a relationship, the follwoing curiosity, and simultaneously being set free from someone else's expectations.

Lexi Bee is an artist born and raised in the Lone Star State of Texas. Having traveled to perform around the U.S. she landed in Los Angeles, California where she currently lives on a boat.
