Comprised of vocalist Alison Freed and multi-instrumentalist Alexandria Reyes, Royal She first caught attention with their inventive Billie Eilish cover, “My Girl”, and has since built momentum with their original hit “Rollercoaster” (co-written by Freed and Adaline) a track that was notably synced for a major motion picture and released as an official remix by Mojave Phone Booth. Their dynamic sound echos the energy of bands like PVRIS and Paramour, delivering a distinctive fusion of rock, pop, and electronic influences.

We are absolutely in love with “My Ex” from Royal She. There is something very special and unique about this track , the melody and vocals are absolutely magnificently magical. The vocals have this old time feel to them that give the song a totally new dimension that we positively love.

“My Ex” serves as a precursor to their highly anticipated album, “Befores and Afters”, set for release in early 2025. Produced by Logan Mader and mixed by the renowned Chris Lord-Alge, it blends their signature genre-spanning style with an edgy storytelling dynamic. The biting break-up anthem is a searing response to a toxic ex with high-octane pop melodies, a propulsive rock beat, and an irresistible forward motion, culminating in the powerful rap-inspired bridge that hammers the message home.  As the harmony-laced vocals deliver the ultimate message, “‘I’ve never hated anyone / anyone, anyone / and then there was you,” a necessary but explosive energy reverberates until the very last chord fades. Check out Royal She’s new single, “My Ex,” it’s an epic musical experience that will warm any music loving heart

Deegie Delivers The Most Epic Perspective On Relationships Of All Time With New Album “EXES”

We recently had the most excellent opportunity to check out the new album “EXES “ from Los Angeles based pop-punk trailblazer deegie. You can listen to “EXES” Here.

We have to be honest… we freaking love “EXES” from Deegie. It is 10 tracks of pure pop punk genius.

The LP is a brutally honest collection of 10 song sall about the exploration of dating.Sonically daring, the music serves as both a time capsule of contemporary romantic struggles and a cathartic scream into the void for anyone who’s ever navigated the treacherous waters of modern relationships.

The idea for the EXES  was sparked when deegie stumbled upon her online journals spanning nearly a decade, which included details about her past casual and serious relationships that were too good not to indulge in. From men who made it clear they never wanted to be serious, to clingy, cloying men who held her too tight, each song is an exploration of memory, accountability, and the perspective bestowed by time.

The songwriting and melodies on “EXES” are absolutely flawless. The record is personal and authentic. You can’t fake real and Deegie, has crafted an absolute gem of album .

There is also a relatability within the album, in that we have maybe been or know someone who has been in similar relationship situation.

Every song is pure pop punk perfection. We honestly can’t pick a favorite song , as every song is a work of art.

So find your favorite music listening spot and get lost in the greatness that is “EXES” from Deegie.
