Alexa Lash - Fuck that Noise
Miami-based singer-songwriter Alexa Lash delivers a strikingly unique performance in Fuck that Noise. She combines poetic lyricism grounded in reality and relatability with a stunning vocal showcase: one part melody and one part spoken word. Her expressive and emotional voice takes center stage, backed by gentle yet prominent acoustic strums that are as commanding and energetic as her vocals. She captures the whirlwind of feelings and challenging circumstances that a person endures in their youth, in her straightforward, unpretentious lyrics as well as her vulnerable, honest singing. The song feels almost anthemic and empowering, in that it nudges you to cut out the noise and focus on living an authentic life. Listen to Fuck that Noise by Alexa Lash.
