The loyal reader will be already familiar with PROXOXIE. Hailing from Chicago, the American talent appeared in our publication not long ago with ‘No Sleep’, a record we defined as “rainbow-lined hyper pop, a slice of fresh air, serving futuristic vibes with a certain early ‘2000 emo energy”. Now, the creative wizard returns with an album that’s as edgy and forward-thinking as it could. Cementing PROXOXIE as a full-blown artistic entity, “Darling, It Wouldn’t Be a Party Without You…” is a collection of past singles and brand-new material, showcasing the borderless musical nature of the project.
Overall, the record seems to place a strong focus on an intriguing blend between hyper-pop and modern EDM vibes, layering fast-paced grooves over bright synthetisers and glitchy soundscapes. PROXOXIE’s heavily treated vocals are the cherry on the cake, exhibiting their fascinating and otherworldly character with fierceness and the right amount of quirkiness.
Featuring in “Darling, It Wouldn’t Be a Party Without You…” we find the likes of Dropcat, lending both vocal and production duties. To note, PROXOXIE is a gifted producer herself, bringing her multi-disciplinary qualities to new heights. Lyrically, she delves into personal experience, painful events and an ever-relevant sense of self-growth, quite fitting for a record that looks proudly to the future.
