Boy, this shit right here. FIRE! ParisAlexa is a name that I’ve come across a little bit over the past year but to be honest I haven’t paid the attention she deserves. I came across her ‘Ballin’ record on an Instagram story clip and it captivated me immediately. This morning she followed up that video with her new EP Flexa.

Paris is truly one of the Seattle artists I am most excited for the world to hear, and I don’t think she’s that far off from this happening. The 4 track EP rides like a consistent soundtrack to the inside of Paris’s current state of living. “Lv” starts off the project and really sets the tone for the cohesive sound on the EP. The record embodies the project in the means that she doesn’t have it all but she has all that she needs right next to her.
While she claims she’s not ‘ballin’ by traditional standards, she’s got all that she needs in her Louis Vuitton. Thanks to Elan Wright of Ruby Room Studios, the vocals cut through while leaving plenty of room for the new age R&B instrumentals to ride. With ‘Like Me Better’ the singer takes an introspective look at where she’s been and being content with life at the moment. The entire EP really rides as a reflection on this moment and I think the artists is foreshadowing what is about to come. ‘Ballin’ ParisAlexa further paints a picture of where she’s at and also where shes headed. Needless to say, we’ll be right behind her.

While you may not be able to tell this is her first video, the young artist has acquired quite the artistic toolset already. She’s really at her best when she transitions from that sound back to melodies. The overall feel and content of this record is sure to provide an anthem to ride around the ‘six’ with. If you enjoyed this project, make sure to go run some streams up on Spotify or cop that on iTunes.
