Last month, Lexie Liu made a strong impression with “Sleep Away“, the first single off her forthcoming project. The Fader named the track on of “10 Songs You Need In Your Life”, Nylon listed is as the “Best Music Releases of the Week”, and Refinery29 said “their ears are very into Lexie.” Building off of this hype, today, Lexie releases her biggest track yet, “Nada”, complete with video. An empowering, anthemic, futuristic number, “Nada” is produced by Bijan Amir (“Ric Flair Drip”) and brought to life in 3D by video director Mamesjao. In a Blade Runner-inspired underworld, Lexie is suited up in HUD and ready to conquer the world.
V Magazine says that, “Lexie Liu is poised to become the face of a generation of new Chinese artists breaking into the American mainstream with a uniquely, cross-cultural sound.”
She is preparing to release her global debut project via 88rising at the top of 2019. Earlier this summer, Lexie Liu announced her signing to 88rising with the worldwide release of “Like A Mercedes”. The cyber-punk inspired video was Lexie Liu’s first introduction to a global audience, showing off how her provocative sound is transcending language barriers.
Born and raised in Changsha, China, 19-year-old Lexie Liu is creating a new template for hip-pop stardom.
