Lexi Berg

Lexi Berg delivers yet another heart-stirring masterpiece with her latest single, “Bermuda Triangle,” a stunning emotional ballad that dives deep into the heart of feeling like an outsider. Born in Stockholm and raised on a houseboat, Lexi’s distinct upbringing gives her music an unorthodox yet deeply evocative edge. Following the success of her previous release, “Lonely Satellite,” this mesmerizing track showcases her evolution as an artist and storyteller.

Co-written with the acclaimed hitmakers Jim Eliot and Grammy-winning Jimmy Hogarth, “Bermuda Triangle” beautifully represents an artful exploration of what it means to feel adrift, yearning for connection in an increasingly isolating world yet unable to find it fully. The song commences with delicate classical piano melodies that establish a reflective ambiance, allowing Lexi’s haunting vocals to take center stage, laying the foundation for the intimate vulnerability that unfolds. As she sings, the audience feels lost in the whirlpools of her emotional core, capturing the feeling of being unseen and unheard while longing for acknowledgment and understanding amidst the chaos of life.
