“Oh, what a voice. It cannot be helped that the first thing anybody notices from singer/songwriter Alesia Xo is the fistful of power in her vocals. It’s rare these days to hear new talent simply isn’t the product of studio gloss. Xo’s singing is raw, edgy, combining the melancholic tones of Melissa Etheridge with the gritty punch of Janis Joplin. “The Corner” cuts deep into the heart with the serious angst in her voice. It is beautiful to hear such an angelic roar. Bluesy riffs and rock-solid drumming provide the backbone of “The Corner” but it is Xo’s soulful vocals that take it to a higher level.”

“Alesia XO jams soul, blues, and rock on powerful new single. Alesia XO is a singer/songwriter with a passion for combining the soulfulness of blues with the energy of rock. Her most recent single, "The Corner," is actually a perfect example of what I am talking about. The single showcases XO's dynamic vocal style, adorned with an edgy and direct personality, which truly suits the instrumental tones of this powerful track. "The Corner" is going to be right up your alley if you are a fan of artists as diverse as Florence & The Machine, Patti Smith, or Fleetwood Mac, only to mention a few. However, this might be something you enjoy even if you are a fan of iconic performers like Lucinda Williams or Bonnie Raitt.”

““The Corner” has bring to the table Alesia’s ethereal music composition that will make your head fizzy with its cloud of groovy vibe and nostalgia. The smeared smoothness and gritty tone in her voice impresses the listener more than ever as she stirs attention with her typically flawless writing. The arrangement of the song with catchy guitar riffs, Jazzy drum beats is done beautifully, and the transition between the verses brings on a different rhythm to uplift her vocals. The track will seriously take you on a journey and offers an unending feel-good aura with its captivating music and Alesia’s raw exotic voice.”

“With the characteristic wit of Alesia XO’s originally written lyrics, “Awesometown” hints at the secrets buried in the backyards of Santa Clarita’s finest: “Working that net just like a boss / Hiding in between the lines.” Located about 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Santa Clarita is home to many of the entertainment world’s most brilliant and successful minds. B-list stars settle in the secluded communities, and big-name execs hide comfortably in ranch homes just off the beaten track.”

“A singer and songwriter from Santa Clarita recently released a single called “Awesometown” offering a satirical take on the California suburb.”

““It used to be this funny moniker that was like a marketing tool for Santa Clarita,” she said. “It’d be a way to talk about coming to Valencia. People would be making fun of the word ‘Awesometown,’ but I thought, ‘This is a perfect word to sing.’””
