Naarm/Melbourne alt-pop act PAXY recently dropped “The Fool,” a sassy new track that might just be her most daring yet. I’m not sure whether I appreciate its confessional lyrics or unique blues-pop sound more. The blend reminds me a lot of iconic female performers who bucked trends like Lana Del Rey and Amy Winehouse.
“This song isn’t about one relationship or situationship in particular,” PAXY explained. “It’s a post-mortem on my own role in the fallout, and a nod to the stories we all spin for ourselves and each other. I love dancing on that line, pointing the finger inward, not outward, and finding the comedy in my own chaos.”
I hear PAXY is already planning more single releases and some shows, so expect to hear a lot more from her in the coming months.
