Italian Dance Diva Alexia Returns with English Single, Reflecting on Music’s Evolution
After a two-decade hiatus, Italian dance music queen Alexia is back, captivating fans with an all-English track. "I feel a feeling" marks a triumphant return to her roots, echoing the sound that propelled her to global fame in the 90s. She recently sat down with us to discuss this new chapter in her illustrious career.
"Two years ago, I released a Christmas album in English, and I was surprised by the enthusiastic reception from fans. It awoke a desire within me," Alexia explains. “I realized the power of music to transcend language barriers. It’s a universal language that connects people, regardless of where they come from.”
"I feel a feeling" isn’t just a catchy tune; it’s a statement. For Alexia, the song represents a rekindling of passion and a celebration of human connection. "It’s about embracing your emotions, feeling alive, and wanting to share that joy with others. I believe we all yearn for authentic connections in a world that can often feel isolating.”
Acknowledging the struggles of forging genuine connections in today’s technology-saturated world, Alexia reflects, “Adults are realizing the importance of disconnecting from screens and prioritizing real-life interactions. Young people, however, face a different reality. They learn about the world through filters and curated images, which can distort their perception of authentic experiences.
The journey of motherhood has humbled Alexia and broadened her perspective. “My daughters are 17 and 13, and being their mother has been a profound experience," she shares. "It’s been a learning curve, trying to bridge the generational gap and understand their world. It’s important to me that they feel heard and supported, to break down any walls that might hinder open communication.”
This renewed emphasis on connection shines through in Alexia’s music. Collaborating with acclaimed electronic music duo Dragonette, known for their work with global superstars like Kylie Minogue and David Guetta, she crafts a powerful yet accessible sound.
“I wanted a unique, fresh sound for this project, something distinct from my previous work,” she explains. "Dragonette were the perfect fit. When I heard ‘I feel a feeling,’ I knew it was the right song. It resonated with my vision."
Looking back on her remarkable three-decade career,
Alexia notes a significant shift in the music landscape.
"The internet has democratized music, allowing artists from all corners of the world to connect with audiences," she acknowledges. "But with so much content available, it’s harder than ever to stand out. Today, DJs wield considerable influence, and while singers remain important, the focus has shifted.”
Alexia isn’t slowing down. She has more English tracks in the pipeline, collaborations, and a commitment to dancing with a purpose. " "I want to celebrate life, inspire joy, and remind people of the power of human connection," she concludes.
Her infectious optimism, coupled with her undeniable talent, ensures that Alexia’s music will continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
