Do or Die

Do or Die is a pivotal early release from AleXa, arriving in April 2020 as an 8-track mini-album that solidified her signature cyberpunk concept. The record is built around a cohesive narrative of artificial intelligence, combat, and futuristic rebellion, which is reflected both in the track titles and the aggressive sonic palette. Musically, the album leans heavily into industrial-influenced dance-pop, electropop, and EDM, utilizing harsh synthesizer lines, compressed percussion, and dramatic builds that set it apart from more traditional, lighthearted pop releases of the era.

The tracklist features key singles like the title track 'Do or Die' and 'Bomb', alongside an EDM remix and several instrumental versions. These instrumentals highlight the intricate, bass-heavy production work, showcasing the complex layering of digital textures and rhythmic patterns that define the project's aesthetic. By stripping away the vocals, the instrumentals reveal a dark, club-ready underbelly that draws heavily from hardstyle and electro-house, cementing the album's position as a cross-genre bridge between mainstream pop and underground electronic styles.
