Alexandria - Cut of Cloth (2017)

Alexandria has released Cut of Cloth, a 15-track album building on the material she released on last year’s Promise EP. It features production done by her frequent collaborator Ethereal, who also provides guest vocals on track ‘Get it Right’. Other features include Archibald Slim on the track ‘Good Before You’ and Lord Narf, on the reprise of Promise standout ‘Problem’. Imagine you’re at the Fox Theatre for a concert performance, you sit down and you’re waiting for it to start. As you’re waiting, the lights dim and smoke fills the air. The curtains separate and you simultaneously hear and see an angel singing about her heart ache and how far she’s come. What you’re actually hearing and seeing is singer/songwriter Alexandria from Awful Records. The songstress has a general sound of a 90’s R&B singer but applies her own feel to make it special in today’s music scene. Her most recent project Cut of Cloth was released January 4th.

Her second album is produced by Awful Records member Ethereal and features Lord Narf and Archibald SLIM. Throughout the album she talks of claiming her new life and growing more as an independent person. In her past she was faced with an abusive relationship and was left feeling less than her normal self. The track “Glow,” perfectly expresses this. The first few lines reads, “I just wish you really could get to know me for me/ You’ll get your money back but the satisfaction is guaranteed/ All this love that I’ve got/ If would only take the time to see this diamond in your face.” In a new found sense of womanhood Alexandria will no longer let a man run over her.
