With its lavish lounges, vibrant nightlife and touted DJ rosters, Sin City is a dancer’s dream.
Speaking of dancing, two local musicians collaborated on a new groove worthy of the hottest nightclubs in town.
Alexis Russell, who goes by Lexsey (@lexseymusic), and Giano Munoz, also known as GioMetrik (@giometrikmusic), combined their musical talents to produce a new house song titled “Realized.” Lexsey’s no stranger to the stage.
From a young age, she’s possessed a passion for performance.
She’s a self-taught pianist who would skip class to write piano ballads about boys. Later on, her brother would produce beats, and she would sing in his tracks.
As much as Lexsey loves EDM, she admits that she wasn’t a big fan of house music before composing this song, but she says that meeting the right artist can inspire anything.
The two musicians connected through her brother, who suggested that they work together.
But she wasn’t the only one who wanted to try something new. Prior to conceiving this single, GioMetrik mainly created tech house music.
“Collaborating with Lexsey was fun and easy. I went over to her home studio and told her about the idea that I had in my head,” he says. ”I wanted to make a track that had to do with a breakup and have a sad type of feel to it, but with a good vibe as well.”
In their latest track, “Realized,” Lexsey’s sweet vocals and GioMetrik’s bright beats are reminiscent of disco-influenced pop artists Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue, begetting a bittersweet anthem.
It’s the perfect groove to play at the discotheque, listen to while exercising at the gym, or to lift one’s spirits when heartache strikes.
Lexsey and GioMetrik are staying busy, which means they will be releasing more music soon, and this is just a taste of what they are cooking up in their studios.
“Realized” by GioMetrik, featuring Lexsey, is now available on all music platforms.
