Rock 'n' Roll Call: Alexx Calise

posted in: FeaturesRock

You can try, but you’re not going to break Alexx Calise.

With the help of GRAMMY-nominated producer Luigie Gonzalez, Calise’s new album In Avanti serves up dark and powerful electronic rock, reminiscent of Flyleaf and Evanescence.

In Avanti opens with Calise’s crunchy guitar playing, backed by ringing synths and programmed drums on “Anything Goes.” “Break Me” continues the industrial tone of the album, with angsty lyrics that create the perfect anthem for any bitter break-up.

Though ballad “Cry” stops the album’s energetic momentum, it showcases Calise’s vocals against a no-frills background. The song is the only quiet track on the album, which picks right back up with “Get Used to It” and hits a high note with the dancey “My Song.”

With its undeniable radio-readiness, it’s no surprise that Calise’s music has already been featured on One Tree Hill and The Discovery Channel. She is definitely an artist you’ll want to keep on your radar…if you can keep up with her.
