"When I Die"

There's coincidence. And then there's Alexia.

​

Located between magic and earth, enchanted by nature, in the arms of one of her totems - also known as Brazil - Alexia Evellyn has been searching for her true place in the realms of our existence. And she has found it, it seems, in her art. Alexia  Evellyn's music comes from the soil, from the wind of the past and the fire of a present that needs alignment with nature more than ever before. Her music is a force, fortified by her love for the universal soul in all things. 

​

Over the past years, Alexia Evellyn has amassed millions of followers on her social platforms by showing her audience a glimpse of what humans were actually created for: roaring with the storms, answering to the birds, stomping through the mud and staring into the fire, all the while singing with gaping ardour for the sole purpose of doing it.

​

Amassing over 20 million global streams on her debut EP "Dark Side", 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.

​

"When I Die" is a single from the new chapter, her upcoming EP "Hell Hath No Fury", which will be released this summer. 

​

This is a song I wrote for my father.

 He died at the age of 24, when I was still very young. I miss him every day, and I would give anything to have him back. His presence was luminous - like the sun reflecting on the water at dusk.

His passing was so sudden and devastating for my family that, for a long time, speaking about him became impossible. Especially for my mother. The pain was so immense that his life ended up being hidden away deep inside her. His absence left a void so profound that, little by little, it transformed into silence. Into tears.

To this day, my mother cannot bring herself to speak of him. When I was a child, I didn't see his photographs scattered around the house. I didn't hear stories about him over breakfast.

I didn't know his gestures, his quirks, his laughter. And perhaps it was precisely this silence that compelled me to write this song. Because I do not want my father to be erased. I do not want his existence to be remembered solely through the pain of his departure.

I believe that when we lose someone we love so deeply, we sometimes end up trapped in that place of absence - in that space where the pain is so overwhelming that it comes to consume every memory.

But I want to be something more than that for him. I want him to live on through the beauty he left in me and in this land.

Nature transforms everything without ever truly losing anything - and this is how I want him to live on within me.

In my most beautiful flowers.

In my dances.

In my voice.

In the things I see.

In the magic that exists in everything that lives.

I wrote this song as if it were him speaking to us. But also as if it were my own testament.

A letter to everyone who has lost the most important person in their lives - and who, in some way, wishes for them to be remembered as something more than just the pain of their absence.

They live on inside us. Forever.

They deserve to be held in our hearts in love and party too.

This is my letter to my father.

And also my letter for when I am gone."

​We let Alexia use her own words to describe the upcoming EP:

​

"Hell Hath no Fury is a big question mark for me.

It's about feeling without giving a plausible explanation.

It's about giving space to a body that has never been allowed to feel anger, a feeling so forbidden to us women.

What am I if I let go of these certainties that I swallowed against my will?

This new EP, unlike the first, talks about things I haven't resolved yet and that I'm still going through. Some of them in a visceral way.

It talks about being a foreigner, about being Latina, about xenophobia, and about my desire to simultaneously be part of the world.

It talks about the colonization of Earth and female bodies.

It talks about my struggle to accept a universe that I always saw as dirty and disgusting and that I now see as a tool.

It talks about me becoming the woman I want to be, with my fury and my heart no longer destroying me and leading me to relive my traumas again and again, but how I can actually use that to create the world I want to see born.

What is it to be this woman if I see no horizon and we have so few references to what freedom is? What does it mean to have limits?

What is fury? What does it mean to accept my sexuality and sensuality without selling myself to the devil who abuses me?"
