Alexis Allon - "Closer" EP

Sometimes recognizing "Starr" quality can be a daunting task, however with Alexis Allon you'll start feeling the sky shine quite instantly as you press play on her brand new EP "Closer". The Titan Records artist brandishes a powerful voice that carries its weight across a short but extremely fulfilling four record dosage that paints a vivid picture of Alexis's capabilities.Kicking off with one of my favorite records in the last few months is the single "Starr"  which has an infectious chorus that easily traps itself inside the space between your ears. Not only does the singing pull you in but Alexis Allon isn't to be taken lightly on the microphone either. She squeezes in a fair amount of effective bars across "Closer"."Keep Em" is a great example of those bars - in a more mellow record packed with jazzy vibes. "One thing that should be blatant is I'm here to make a statement'... well statement made Alexis! The remainder of the EP carries forth the first half's momentum. "Devotion" & the title track "Closer" are two short but sweet offerings that expand on the strengths of those before.In closing "Closer" is a demonstrative effort that showcases Alexis Allon as a multi-talented artist who stands just as strong on her own as she does lending her vocal abilities amongst features such as her previous collaborations with Detroit legendary emcee Supa Emcee. The only thing you can ask for after finishing the EP is for more music, & without a doubt, "Closer" will stay in my rotation until that day comes.Stream/Purchase: https://songwhip.com/album/alexis-allon/closer
