Pop singer-songwriter Angelina Alexon spoke about her new single “Bada Boom.”
‘Bada Boom’ single
On her new single “Bada Boom,” she said, “The core message of the song revolves around staying focused and not allowing anything or anyone, including negative individuals or ‘Karens,’ to divert us from our path.”
“It carries a vibrant and optimistic vibe,” she admitted. “While writing the lyrics, I was motivated and inspired by the desire to uplift people who were feeling down, especially considering the ongoing financial repercussions of the pandemic.”
“Unfortunately, the post-pandemic period has brought about various adverse effects, extending beyond health concerns, creating a strange and challenging domino effect,” she added.
Music and songwriting inspirations
On her music and songwriting inspirations, she disclosed, “My primary source of inspiration is people.”
“I often find myself observing individuals, various situations, and even heartbreaks, which the latter serve as significant catalysts for my creativity. Out of heartbreaks, some of the most remarkable masterpieces are born,” she said.
“Interestingly, I have yet to release many of these deeply inspiring creations, but merely discussing them fills me with a sense of vitality. It is in expressing my art that I truly come alive, as it is an inherent part of my nature and my purpose,” she elaborated.
Las Vegas Greek Festival
She will be performing at the Las Vegas Greek Festival from September 15t to 17.
“I am thrilled to announce that I will be performing not only at the Las Vegas Greek Festival but also two other Greek Festivals in September, namely Long Beach, California, and San Juan Capistrano, California,” she said.
“The Vegas festival is truly on another level – it’s like a Greekchella,” she exclaimed. “As a proud Greek citizen (I have dual citizenship, both US and Greece) I am always thrilled to represent the rich Greek culture and heritage.”
“I will be singing some timeless Greek songs , and of course, get ready to dance Syrtaki, Zeibekiko, and shout ‘Opa!’ I might even see how many people turn around when I yell ‘Niko!” she said with a sweet laugh.
Future plans
On her future plans, she said, “I am committed to releasing more music and connecting even further with my incredible fans. I want to continue sharing my artistic journey and creating meaningful experiences through my music.”
The digital age
On being an artist in the digital age, she said, “The digital age has provided artists like myself with incredible opportunities and flexibility to control my own destiny by remaining being an independent artist.”
“Social media has revolutionized the way we connect with our fans, allowing for direct and meaningful interactions. It provides a platform for artists to express their art through pictures, videos, and live streaming,” she said.
“Communication is key, and I am grateful to be a part of an era that enables me to engage with my fans in such a direct and personal way. I truly believe that I am in the right place at the right time, and I am excited to continue embracing the digital landscape to further grow and evolve as an artist,” she elaborated.
She continued, “I am also actively engaged in the crypto world and have a strong commitment to supporting web3 projects. I am excited to share that I have formed partnerships with prominent ventures such as Audius, known as the ‘Metaverse radio,’ and FlickPlay, an augmented reality app affiliated with Disney.”
NFTs
In addition, she is incredibly thankful to the fans who showed their support by acquiring her NFTs. “I am humbled to announce that my entire NFT collection was completely sold out within a remarkable 24-hour timeframe on the NFT Go app,” she said.
“This achievement serves as a testament to the enthusiasm and trust that my supporters have placed in my work and I’m continuously inspired to explore new opportunities and push the boundaries of what is possible in the digital era,” she added.
Dream duet choices in music
She listed Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, Kylie Minogue, JVKE , Khalid , and Giveon as her dream collaboration choices in music.
Greek-American community
She expressed her thoughts on the current state of the Greek-American community. “I am truly inspired by the vibrancy and resilience of the Greek-American community. It’s incredible to witness how they continue to uphold and preserve our cherished traditions, keeping the spirit alive,” she said.
Alexon continued, “Having lived in both the East Coast, particularly New York, and Greece, I’ve noticed that people’s expressions of their Greek identity may differ based on their location and background; however, despite these differences, when we come together to celebrate and honor our shared Greek heritage, the outcome is always the same – a beautiful display of unity and pride.”
“It’s heartwarming to see people from various nationalities joining us in these celebrations, fostering a sense of inclusivity and cultural exchange,” she added.
Closing thoughts on ‘Bada Boom’ single
On her single, she remarked, “The most important thing I want listeners to take away from ‘Bada Boom’ is its uplifting and positive energy. I wrote this song with the intention of keeping spirits high and encouraging everyone to stay focused and undeterred by distractions.”
“The music video for ‘Bada Boom’ was an absolute blast to create,” she admitted. “We had an amazing time shooting it at the TikTok viral diner, Frisco’s Carhop, in Whittier, California. I took on the roles of director, producer, and editor, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result. It truly captures the fun and excitement we experienced that night.”
“’Bada Boom’ embodies the essence of maintaining a positive and uplifting energy, resonating with my fans who provide me with invaluable feedback. Their unwavering support is the driving force behind my artistic endeavors. I am truly grateful for every moment and deeply humbled,” she concluded.
