Nineteen-year-old singer-songwriter from London, Lexie Carroll is emotionally intelligent beyond her years. Composed of a dainty mix of melancholic indie, folk and pop, inspired by the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Bon Iver and Aurora, her songs are an intimate look into the inner workings of her mind as she transitions from a girl to a young woman, dancing between a hopeful joy and wistfulness throughout her repertoire.

‘you look lovely when you’re living’ is a title that speaks for itself. For Lexie, life has been on pause for a long while. From battling with her mental health, to her vital adolescent developmental years being ripped out from underneath her by the grips of the pandemic, she shares that she “barely remembers” life before, but coming out the other side of it all has given her a new lust for life. “I’ve felt like I’m experiencing so much, so strongly, for the first time.” She’s embarked on a journey of accepting and celebrating all the feelings that come with being alive, and has come to realise there’s magic and joy in the ordinary.

The EP was predominantly made with a helping hand from Jack Hardman (Good Dog, Luke Sital-Singh, Charlie Bennett). The two are no stranger to one another, having previously worked on a number of songs on Lexie’s discography. Lexie jokes, “We always have so much fun, but once we got meal deals and he ate my pineapple.”

The seven track offering promises to be even more personal than previous bodies of work. She comments that whilst the topics embody a thematic familiarity, she’s adopted a wider perspective in this release, stating, “as you get older things are much less black and white.”
