"Bailarina"
Alexia Evellyn releases the stripped down 'Bailarina', as a follow up to her previous three singles.
"The song is inspired by a poem I wrote a few years ago, about a girl, full of strength and force from what she is seeing in art, music and nature. Smiling.
For some people she is too quiet. For others she talks too much. And then she gets hurt.
A big wound. She loses her anchor on earth, and that smile disappears.
Then a warrior enteres her life. Unbeatable. To protect her. The warrior take control of her life and cut down anyone that even think of hurting the girl, sometimes also good souls that she doesn't see because of the fire in her eyes.
Years passes. The girl is feeling safe, but she misses feeling free. One day she gets called to a ritual, and in this ritual she hears the voice of an indigenous woman and her drum. She smiles again, and music is, again, calling her.
From this day she lives side by side with the warrior. They become one."
Already amassing over 4 million global streams on her music since debuting this summer, Alexia’s journey to commercial success has already taken her across the world to perform her previous singles on national TV in China to over 150 million viewers and almost 1 billion on local social media.
This road has not been smooth for Alexia, despite amassing over 5 million followers on her own social platforms over the past year. Just to think that four years ago she almost decided to quit music altogether.
Playing the cello as a child, and receiving a University scholarship to study singing were solid foundations, however the confidence to embrace her own voice didn’t build until she landed a deal as the main vocalist with Cirque Du Soleil in 2019.
Just before a global tour, Covid hit, Alexia’s dream job cancelled before it even started, and fell into a depression ready to give up music for good.
With her friend’s encouragement and filming capabilities, she started singing anywhere she could, putting the videos online. It didn’t take long until viewers gathered on her accounts; celebrating, connecting to and sharing her acapella versions of old traditional and modern day pop songs, recorded in picturesque Brazilian nature.
“Being in contact with people who loved the same things as me gave me the feeling, for the first time in my life, that I wasn't that strange. In fact, there are many people like me spread all around this Earth. I just didn't know them yet.”
