Look out for the recently released album EXES by Los Angeles-based pop-punk trailblazer deegie. The LP is a brutally honest collection of 10 songs all about the exploration of dating. Sonically daring, the music serves as both a time capsule of contemporary romantic struggles and a cathartic scream into the void for anyone who’s ever navigated the treacherous waters of modern relationships.
.
The idea for the EXES was sparked when the artist stumbled upon her online journals spanning nearly a decade, which included details about her past casual and serious relationships that were too good not to indulge in. From men who made it clear they never wanted to be serious, to clingy, cloying men who held her too tight, each song is an exploration of memory, accountability, and the perspective bestowed by time.
.
From a decisive declaration of finally knowing that marriage and children weren’t for her, to an uneasy yet powerful nu-metal track that confidently explores the complexities of processing trauma after rape, deegie fearlessly confronts the cultural myths surrounding romance, the pitfalls of casual dating, and the lasting impact of toxic masculinity.
