XTIE Unveils Latest single ‘frenemy’

XTIE shows off her shimmering bubblegum-pop prowess with her new track ‘frenemy’. Infinitely catchy with sugar-sweet, soaring melodies and smooth, understated vocals, the track fuses pulsating pop production with big beats and a euphoric soundscape for a seriously addictive, chartworthy track as XTIE builds suspense with her carefully crafted arrangement. Bringing a personal narrative to her lyrics, XTIE opens up about fake friendships and getting too comfortable with people too soon, something that many twenty-somethings can relate to.

Alongside the track, XTIE shares a hazy, ethereal video, full of metaphors and subtle nods to the lyrics; a teddy represents the toxic people who appear loving and as XTIE lets go of a red balloon at the end of the video, she is letting go of the past.

Discussing the meaning behind the new track, XTIE shares: “We used to be BFFs but suddenly we just grew apart and we can’t find a reason. We used to tell jokes, make fun of each other and share secrets. Now you know all my secrets but we are not friends anymore.

I feel like social media could help make new friends but it sometimes make old friends grow apart, sudden jealousy on how good your life is now, compare this or that scrolling through the stories of our “friends”, we seems to get friend’s recent life updates through IG but not calling up each other to chat anymore.

New friends came into my life as well after I graduated from university, and they easily get jealous of your achievements and they will find ways to let you down. Sometimes it got me thinking, am I a bad friend because I am just too busy to keep updated and stay close with my friends? no time to hang out with them, be patient or listen to their stories anymore?”

XTIE is an independent singer-songwriter / electro-pop artist from Hong Kong. She weaves ear-candy pop beats with candid storytelling and her warm jazz-tinged vocals. As a self-produced artist, she writes, arranges, produces and performs her songs. As a female producer in the music scene, she hopes to bring ways to tell her story.

Since her debut in mid-2020, her tracks have reached over 300K streams on Spotify. Her hit single “Virgo” peaked 3rd for over 6 weeks on the Hong Kong largest radio stations. Already having garnered support from BBC Radio Scotland, RTHK, Commercial Radio Hong Kong, SCMP Young Post, LOCK Magazine UK, The Noise Gate UK, XTIE shows her ability to create shimmering candy-pop beats, sweeping melodies with vocal chops, mellow chill out vibes and euphoric dancefloor moments.
