Singer-songwriter Arden Alexa has delivered a captivating and addictive new single with “Poison.” This 20-year-old rising star showcases her contagious aura and her intoxicating vocals in this dark pop anthem.
“Poison” opens with a soft melody building under Alexa’s tender, luscious voice that has a biting edge to it. She draws us with the measured intrigue but then she sings with a sultry, addictive tone and brings a catchy hook to every line.
The misty immersion under the beats only increases the intensity. Alexa’s delivery gets more fiery as the beats drop hard and steady. The build-up to the chorus is intense, with the music gradually intensifying with her vocals surging as she sings, “Now I’m suffocating/Hold me till I turn blue/At least I’m going down.”
The chorus is a powerful and catchy hook that perfectly captures the song’s theme. “Loving you is poison,” Alexa sings, acknowledging the destructive nature of the relationship but also expressing a strange addiction to it. Midway, the pulses finally clash into the aural field, and the vibrant synths run up in shimmering frequencies with the strings while the Spanish-style dance beats bustle.
The production on “Poison” is top-notch but it’s Alexa’s vocals that spice up the track with her cool, dark fire. Her latest track is a bold and powerful song that explores the darker side of love with the right beats. Listen to it on Spotify if that’s your thing.
