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.”
“Broken Record is the perfect pop romantic daydream to slip into about being ridiculously head over heels in love with someone in the most casual, comfortable way.
I wrote it on a road trip to Philly in the summer, pondering what my ideal romantic relationship would look like. I was inspired by a 70’s soul song I had on my playlist called “Would You Rather” by The Georgettes.
It’s a warm and golden Saturday morning dancing around in the kitchen with your partner as the both of you cook breakfast and play all of your favorite records. you’ll laugh and sing and smile as you watch the brand new world you begin to create with one another slowly come together.”
