By Singer-songwriter Rxth delivers a positive message of self-love to all women on new single Starlight. “It’s a reminder that we’re all a work in progress and not only is that okay, it’s as it should be,” says Rxth. “Our individual journeys of growth are unique, sacred and beautiful. Even the hard stuff”.
Releasing conscious music “for people who feel too much”, the UK-based artist isn’t afraid to ask the big questions. Dancing between the light and the dark, her dusky, electronic pop music explores human nature, emotions and self-reflection. Influenced by Kate Bush and Tori Amos, Rxth wants her music to leave you better than it found you.
Evolution
A gently building, positive and affirming pop track, Starlight is an antidote to the messages of “not enoughness” many women and girls hear on a regular basis. Rxth turned to producer Ed Seed for the production. “He really helped take it to the next level from its early incarnation as a piano/vocal track,” says Rxth. “He took the theme of light and put sound to it with beautiful glassy strings at the beginning and throughout. Then he mirrored the topic of personal evolution with the way the track builds and gathers momentum throughout. We both love the result.”
Out now, Starlight also reflects Rxth’s interest in mystical and esoteric themes. “The lyrics also subtly speak to the known origins of energy and the source of all life on earth – the stars and our sun,” she explains. “Both metaphorically and literally, we are the stuff of starlight turning into something conscious and beautiful. Starlight is, of course, already beautiful, and essential. Perhaps we can appreciate that so are we.”
The video for Starlight sees a diverse cast of women celebrating their self-worth. “Any message, art or song that speaks to this is something I think we need a lot more of,” says Rxth. “I wanted to contribute and amplify that message. It’s a love note, a self-love note, for all of us.” Check out the video below.
