Alexa Van's vocals dominate the track's soundscape, which creates an entirely unique experience for the listener.
Alexa Van on the meaning behind the track: "Space conveys the feeling of gasping for air. We started by using my voice to layer sounds to build the instrumentation around, aiming to express the pressure of walls closing in. Being trapped by society, needing to expand and embrace the divine feminine, but being boxed in by expectations. Space is about begging for freedom, but being unable to find your truth within the layers of negative voices in your head and all around you."
Alexa Van grew up in Seattle but is now based in LA, where she moved to pursue her dream of becoming a musician. Alexa is open about darker times in her life where she struggled with drug addiction while living in Portland, OR. Moving to LA to escape her past and get sober, Alexa reconnected with her love for music and allows her past to inform her creative process.
"Music is my lifeline. I feel like I have a story to tell and I want to find the audience that I can help.
Music has helped me immensely, and I want to give back in the same way." Alexa Van shares.
Alexa developed her sound over the course of the lockdowns during the pandemic, working with producer and partner Joshua Hawksley she moved on from rock music to a more refined alt-pop sound that felt right for the artist.
