ALEXANDRA has recently released a heartfelt single, “Funny”
Dallas-based artist ALEXANDRA, the indie pop sensation hailing from the heart of Ohio, has struck gold with her latest creation, “Funny,” it’s nothing short of a musical charm. Released on September 29, 2023, “Funny” unveils a delightful blend of genres and creative genius, injecting the heart and soul into a unique auditory experience that stands out in today’s crowded music scene.
“Funny” is an enchanting folk-pop track with a southern influence. It explores the importance of mood and perspective in our daily grind. The song was recorded in a jam-band-style Ft. Worth, Texas, session. It exudes an undeniable light-heartedness and nostalgia, with rich guitar tones and autobiographical lyrics. The melody is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, and “Funny” carries a sense of retrospection, wisdom, and warmth that’s familiar, comforting, and invigorating.
Among ALEXANDRA‘s audience in the DFW metroplex, “Funny” has earned a reputation as a go-to palette cleanser. It’s a song that can lift spirits and soothe souls. Her lyrical prowess shines through with melodic lines like “Yesterday felt more dark, today feels light, and ain’t life…..” These words resonate with anyone who’s navigated through the highs and lows of the human experience, making “Funny” an instant connection point for listeners.
ALEXANDRA’s ultimate goal is to create music that fosters a sense of community through her lyrics, and “Funny” accomplishes just that with her natural storytelling ability, making every listener feel like they’ve found a long-lost friend in her music.
This marks ALEXANDRA’s second single release of 2023, following her independent debut release of “I’m Not Good At This Anymore” in March. And she’s not stopping there; with plans for more singles on the horizon leading up to an EP scheduled for later this year, it’s clear that Alexandra is on a creative roll, and fans have much to look forward to.
2023 has already been a whirlwind year for ALEXANDRA. Fresh from her debut performance at SXSW in Austin earlier this year, she opened for Abraham Alexander in Dallas, wowing the audience with her undeniable talent at The Kessler on June 3. Her singles, including “Bad Stuff,” “I’m Not Good At This Anymore,” and now “Funny,” have all received recognition, with airplay on KXT 91.7’s Local Show, earning her a place in regular rotation. “Bonnie & Clyde,” her previous single, even landed her on BMI’s Texas Top Ten playlist.
“Funny” is a standout track that encapsulates lyrical richness and musical brilliance. It’s the kind of song that deserves a special place in the playlist of any music enthusiast. Keep an eye out for this rising star in the music industry. Alexandra is poised for great things, and “Funny” is just beginning her journey to stardom.

Deaf Radio share the weight of quiet moments on “Idling”
Deaf Radio’s latest release, “Idling,” looks at the times in a relationship when things seem to be on hold, and no one is paying attention. It’s not about big fights or big statements, it’s about the space in between, where nothing seems to happen but everything is slowly changing.
The band captures those moments when time seems to stand still, when it’s easier to talk, but the meaning is deeper. These quiet parts of the song show how small things can have a big emotional effect. The track is about learning to be still, which is what it feels like when life stops.
But as the song goes on, you start to feel like something is changing inside you, even though you’re not moving. “Idling” by Deaf Radio is a reminder that not all changes are big or happen right away. Sometimes, the most important things happen when it looks like nothing is going on.

Album Review
Dian Sheng explores identity, life and love with “Sid” album
Dian Sheng releases his long-awaited first English-language album, “Sid,” a genre-defying collection of songs that includes pop, rock, electronic, and jazz. “Sid” is a deep, meditative exploration of identity, relationships, and self-growth, spanning 29 minutes and 12 seconds across eight tracks. This album is a personal exploration of the complex emotions of mankind and the vitality and jubilation of life.
From the opening track, “Right Now,” Dian Sheng establishes a sense of urgency and reflection. The upbeat song “I Come From Far” examines the connection between the self and one’s environment. It has joyful beats and layers that make you think and feel like part of the narrative.
The jazz ballad “Undecided Love” delves into the complexities of modern romance, featuring tender vocals and instrumentation that showcase Sheng’s delicate touch as a songwriter. “It Will Be Alright” is an empowering anthem about overcoming life’s biggest obstacles, combining electronic beats with a rock influence.
“Seventeen” is bursting with youthful energy, and its production captures the restlessness and emotionality of adolescent life. Two introspective songs with similar atmospheres, “The Way Before” and “This Life,” match chilling melodies with moving lyrics that touch on bygone relationships, self-awareness, and the quest for meaning we all experience.
The album concludes with “Shining As Your Name,” and the final few minutes of this piece alone evoke a strong sense of hope. Dian Sheng demonstrates his ability to join emotional depth with new styles. “Sid” is an invitation into the rich musical universe of Dian Sheng, where you can both consider yourself and feel influenced.
