DOPEST Video of the Week: "Swimming Pools" by Lxandra
/
Lxandra is a fresh-faced 23-year-old living in Berlin with a record deal under her belt. Her passion for singing started from a young age, and her visit to Finnish producer Perttu Kurttila in Berlin in early 2015 was a turning point in her life. "We wrote a few songs together, including my first single 'Flicker'. After that, I knew it was something I wanted to do forever", she explains. Lxandra is a self-assured young woman who knows exactly what she wants and this is clear from her art. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from her outfits to the visuals of her videos. In her songs, she combines electronic influences with classical piano, while powerful choruses meet atmospheric, gentle sounds.
Lxandra has just releases her new music video for "Swimming Pools", which has been designated as our DOPEST Video of the Week. In the video, Lxandra is the sole subject, with radiant shots that capture the essence of simplicity. Reminiscent of the easygoing nature of childhood, Lxandra embraces the feeling of nostalgia with a youthful palette of pastel colors and light, airy movements. The imaginative video embodies the idea that happiness can come from within rather than from materialistic desires. About the single, Lxandra says ”Swimming Pools” is about being happy with what you have and showing a middle finger to the expectations from society and the world that runs on money. About remembering who you are and where you come from and always holding on to that.“
