MARLEE XX, our multi-hyphenate music artist and powerhouse entertainer, hailing from Washington, DC, is a “one-woman band” that has honed a distinctive, musically versatile style of genre fluidity.
MARLEE XX is dropping her double release of “Frequency” and “Only One,” creating crossover-ready pop songs that obliterate the traditional pop formula and completely redefine what it means to be a woman in music.
“Frequency” harbors a dark, bold, and moody beat juxtaposed by uplifting lyrics that, quite literally, raise the vibration of anyone listening, as well as, raise the stakes. Demanding a call to action and pleading with the higher self to rise to the occasion, the track reverberates …
“..I said God told me I have one job and that’s to raise the entire frequency of the universe.”
Like a wave of sunshine after a storm or cool water to cleanse the soul, “Only One,” trickles in embracing another vibration. With juicy bass, delicate synths, and the need for just one true love, this reggae-inspired infusion bounces along a fine line of urban and progressive pop music.
