2 Shares

Connecticut-based recording artist and songwriter Lexi Mariah has recently announced a brand new studio work: Queen of Broken Hearts. This ear-catching new Indie-Pop track channels the unique edge of the artist’s personality, while also retaining a more impactful sound that knows no boundaries. In addition to showcasing Lexi’s phenomenal chops, Queen of Broken Hearts also feels like a perfect introduction to what this singer-songwriter is more than capable of. Opening with a captivating guitar riff accompanied by a line of euphonious vocal harmonies, the song compares the difficulties of being in a relationship to the perplexing gamble of playing a card game, using a clever storyline of metaphors. While there is definitely a lot of depth to Queen of Broken Hearts, there is also a catchy and timeless element to it, which makes the song broadly appealing and very endearing to Lexi’s consistently expanding audience. The focused nature of
the production is a great match with the artist’s vision, and listeners will definitely notice from the second they hit the play button. Produced, mixed and mastered by Kenny Cash (Sony, Disney, Nickelodeon, Netflix), the track is set to be released on the 3rd of August.

Discussing the track, the artist shares, “I wrote this song when I was in a very confusing, ‘up and down’ relationship with someone who would always twist my words, ruin things for themself and then try to blame me for their mistakes. This person would constantly try to gaslight me and would always turn situations around to make it seem like I was in the wrong, when it was actually the other way around. Luckily I was able to see through their manipulativeness
and would always joke to myself saying “guess I’m the queen of broken hearts” whenever they were acting ridiculous, which is how I came up with the concept for this song. Lately I just feel like relationships and even friendships are a gamble and you truly never know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. Sometimes people in your life will ‘play fair’ and sometimes they won’t. They might try to avoid showing their true colors at first, but the truth eventually will always come through.”
