Pixey releases Jungle-produced single, "Bring Back The Beat"
Liverpool-based songwriter and producer Pixey has shared new single "Bring Back The Beat", which is taken from her forthcoming debut album, Million Dollar Baby.
Written and produced alongside Jungle’s Tom McFarland between his London studio and Pixey’s home studio, the track harks back to Pixey’s sampling origins by using a northern soul inspired horn sample. Pixey says: “‘Bring Back The Beat’ is a very special song to me on this album. I wanted it to sound like a northern soul throwback, a call to move and feel the music. A lot of the singles are more pop heavy, so this track is a nod to my love of sampledelia.”
“This album is more than just music to me,” she says, “it’s the final form of years of trying to prove myself. I’ve always felt as if I’m so close to something but never quite there. This is the story the album tells; navigating the perception of myself through the male gaze, whilst also trying to take some power back and form my truest identity.The sentiment of the album is this: the path to fulfilment isn’t a performance for others but instead, is a journey of becoming your authentic self.”
Tickets for Pixey’s headline tour are on sale now which include London’s Lower Third on 25 September, and Arts Club in her hometown Liverpool on 28 September. Pixey will also be playing at Glastonbury later this month on the BBC Introducing stage,Neighbourhood Festival in Manchester later this year.
Million Dollar Baby is set for release on 2 August via Chess Club Records.
