New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Tropical recording artist, Lex (17) is setting the bar for the summer with her new single, "Used To". The fiery track produced and co-written by two-time Grammy nominated producer/songwriter Drew "Druski" Scott (Zendaya, Teyana Taylor, Nick Jonas,
Jake Miller to name a few), is available for streaming on all digital platforms March 24, 2017. "Used To" is the first single from Lex's highly anticipated debut EP Wildflower distributing through Island
Empire Records (Common Kings). Lex's viral single "
Find Me" featuring Reggae legend Fiji recently climbed to #25 on the iTunes Reggae charts.
"New number, who's this," jokes Lex. "This record is about switching up on the people who find the grass isn't greener on the other side. You can't come back after that. We've been experimenting with this island sound that I think people are going to find refreshing yet relatable."
The "tropical" sound Lex is describing is evident in the first three seconds of "Used To". Steel drums timbre while a synth bass introduces Lex's hypnotic voice cooing "…you don't love me like you used to". Listeners are instantly transported to their favorite island before the song explodes into a catchy chorus a young
Beyonce might have even sang.
"I love giving artists their own unique sound," says Druski. "When I found out that Lex had a similar passion for Dancehall and Soca music I thought what if we combine some of those elements with Pop and 90's R&B. That's how we came up with the genre 'Trop'. She has all the qualities of a bonafide star."

Spring 2017 via Island
Empire Records. "Used To" is available for free streaming on all digital platforms including but not limited to Spotify, Pandora, TIDAL, Amazon Music, etc. For more information on Lex please follow her via social media at: instagram.com/lexmusicxo; twitter.com/lexmusic or visit www.musicbylex.com.
