Alexia — Cassette

Intro

Alexia delivers a high-voltage blend of Eurodance and polished pop that feels like a permanent summer. Her sound is defined by massive, soaring choruses and a relentless rhythmic drive that dominated the 1990s club scene. It is music that refuses to be ignored, characterized by bright synth stabs, house-influenced piano lines, and a production style that is both crisp and unapologetically maximalist.

What truly sets her apart is her vocal prowess. Unlike many of her contemporaries in the dance genre who relied on thin or heavily processed vocals, Alexia possesses a powerhouse voice capable of soulful runs and impressive range. She brings a human warmth and technical skill to the synthetic landscape of electronic dance music, making her tracks feel like genuine songs rather than just club tools.

To experience her peak energy, start with the 'Fan Club' album. It captures the quintessential 90s dance aesthetic while showcasing the vocal versatility that eventually allowed her to transition into a successful career as an Italian pop balladeer and Sanremo winner.

Alessia Aquilani (born 19 May 1967), known professionally as Alexia, is an Italian singer-songwriter. Before recording in Italian in the 2000s, she made records in English in the 1990s.
