LIFT ME UP
IS OUT NOW
“Lift me up” is a tale that is told nowhere anymore. The tale of loving oneself, the tale of female empowerment in song, in powerful affirmations and statements you believe are true, that is Lift me up.
Drawn from inspiration of 3 years of travelling solo, on how Xanthe used the words of her tongue and pen to manifest the highest and most magical version of herself, paired with a funky, soul infused melody composed by Ivanka Fernando, this track is one to be played and praised loud and everywhere.
Only having debuted this track in late May at the Freshly Squeezed Sessions at The Bergy Bandroom, it grasped immediate attention from the audience and has continued to do so, as a highly anticipated release for Xanthe and her fans this October.
SEE YOU AT HOME is OUT NOW
See U at Home is a love song inspired by my own journey over the past couple of years, capturing the essence of soul music at its heart while infusing it with a sense of hopeful yearning. The track has a rich big-band feel, with horns and strings adding depth, and layered vocals and harmonies that make it feel like the perfect soundtrack for a sunny day when everything feels just right.
I have been in a long distance relationship and only as of recently, have we reunited and been able to say the words “See you at home” . I have grown up with so many songs and artists that capture what it’s like for love to be lost, and very rarely found - especially in today’s music climate. I want to give the feeling to a listener that maybe there is still someone waiting for you, even if it’s across the world. What would it be like to bring back hopeful music? As someone who is influenced by Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Al Green, and Erykah Badu I strive to bring back listeners to the feeling of true soul music, true music that makes you feel like love is worth it again.
