alxxa isn't here for any self-pity on new single "Pistol"

Her out and out brash confidence would sit tidily next to Rihanna, with "Pistol" capturing that same bravado swagger. alxxa’s delivery stings like a strike from a sassy scorpion, each blow lessening the defences of her lacklustre suitor.

By holding back the intensity of the production, long-time collaborator Gazzo allows alxxa’s tenacity to take centre stage. From start to finish, not a single chink can be found in alxxa’s armour. "Pistol" is a show of strength and dominance that runs more than skin deep.

We’re assured no real pistols were used during the making of this track, but alxxa definitely hit where it hurts.
