Listen to “Remedy” by Joey Miceli Feat LEXXE
The art of collaboration truly shines on the track “Remedy.” While I wasn’t previously familiar with the LA-based artist Joey Miceli, his collaborator LEXXE, known as the disco witch, is someone I know well from her captivating solo projects I’ve covered extensively on the blog. It’s precisely LEXXE’s unique style that piqued my interest in “Remedy,” as I couldn’t envision her veering far from her distinct dark synth-pop sound. However, it’s apparent Joey also recognized her extraordinary vocal talent. Thus inviting her to bring an additional layer of depth and emotion to the song. The result is a mesmerizing blend that highlights the power of collaboration.
I believe Joey made an astute decision by launching his sophomore album era with a collaborative track, clearly illustrating his commitment to evolving as an artist. LEXXE, with their otherworldly touch, is an outstanding choice to accompany him on “Remedy.” A song that masterfully fuses a bass-heavy synth-pop style with a cinematic soundscape, wrapped around an emotionally raw narrative. The lyrics vividly portray the disintegration of a friendship or relationship that felt painfully one-sided. Subequently, serving as a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt emotionally overlooked.
“Sometimes that pain can be so massive,” Miceli shares. “I was more invested in people who couldn’t reciprocate. I knew once I reimagined the song with Santino, I heard LEXXE on it. I’m so lucky she was excited to bring it to life with me.”
The single heralds the beginning of the “Pretenders” era—an ambitious album that confronts the intricate facades we adopt in our unrelenting quest for love, professional success, and societal validation. In “Remedy,” Miceli transcends mere expression of heartbreak; he powerfully lays bare the deep, visceral yearning for genuine connection. This song captures the raw, often tumultuous emotions that accompany our desire for intimacy, illuminating the struggles and vulnerabilities that we all face in our relationships. Through evocative lyrics and poignant melodies, Miceli invites listeners to explore their own experiences with longing and authenticity.
Joey Miceli and LEXXE really came through with this deeply heartfelt track. The authentic lyrical allure of “Remedy” is especially gripping.
