Setting the tone with a vibrant banjo and guitar soundscape, Lexi Berg opens Lonely Satellite with atmospheric vocals, and introspective prose with a captivating timbre. The opus expands with intentional depth and charisma as Lexi Berg shares her soul with us.
We appreciate the relatable nature of the message of Lonely Satellite, and the metaphorical notion that manifests. The cerebral electronica nuance adds that spacey, satellite vibe in line with the conceptual title of the track.
It is no surprise that the Swedish-American rising star’s raspy, powerful voice is often likened to a modern Stevie Nicks, carrying an ethereal quality that transcends time and space. Lexi’s 70s-inspired music beautifully merges the celestial melodies of her Swedish roots with the soulful essence of American folk, creating a transcendental sonic experience.
We learn that Lonely Satellite was crafted amidst the tranquil fields of Wales, designed to offer a serene balm to the stresses of urban life. Under the masterful production of James Eliot (known for his work with Ellie Goulding and Black Honey), the song harmonizes organic acoustic sounds with innovative electronic elements, resulting in a soundscape that feels both warm and otherworldly.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Lexi’s early classical piano training from the age of five profoundly shapes her approach to music. Her debut single What If, discovered and produced by Faris Badwan of The Horrors, garnered international acclaim, featured on the Oscar-nominated film Pieces of a Woman, and was named one of the top 100 songs of 2019 by Apple Music.
During the pandemic, Lexi signed with Warner Music UK and released her EP, Empire of One, produced by Jimmy Hogarth (Sia, James Blunt, Duffy). Her musical pilgrimage has seen her tour with Deacon Blue and The Howling Bells, perform at revered venues like Ronnie Scott’s, and grace the stages of festivals including Wilderness and the Isle of Wight. Lexi’s moving performance of the American anthem at the Women’s final boxing match at the O2 Arena in London, broadcast to over 35 million viewers, revealed her divine gift to a global audience.
With Lonely Satellite, Lexi Berg continues to shine as a guiding light, offering a mystical blend of classic and contemporary sounds that elevate the spirit. Her profound ability to connect with audiences through her emotionally charged, spiritually resonant performances and innovative compositions solidifies her as a visionary artist on a sacred musical journey.
We have added Lonely Satellite to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Lexi Berg, and anticipate future releases from the visionary artist.
