Christchurch based Singer-Songwriter Bexy is releasing her second single of the year following her intimate emotional release The Poem Song. You Expect Me To Not Be Inlove? is a fun festival bop filled with anger, resentment and soft rock energy.
Bexy says "I wrote this song on the bathroom floor of
a one room apartment I was sharing with
my mum.
We had just moved to Sydney together
and I was gaining some solitude the only
way I could. In the bathroom, journaling
and reflecting on my past year filled with
rejection and self abandonment.
I’ve been listening to alot of indie
pop/rock, like COIN and Dayglow. I
stupidly got fake nails so I could only play
one string at a time, so I opted for a fast
beat pluck of the top string.. A neighbour
yelled at me through the walls telling me
to shut up.…So...with anger in the air,
resentment, indie rock tunes stuck in
my head and my limited guitar playing;
it makes total sense to me that this
song was created.
It all came together really really quickly. Fun upbeat songs don't tend to pour out of me. So I was stoked that it happened so organically. I sent a voice memo of the song to my producer, Will McGillivray back in NZ. I gave him a rough idea of what I was wanting the production to be like - but kind of just gave him free rein to see what would happen. He did exactly what I was envisioning but better, adding his zesty touch.
This song makes me excited to play shows and festivals. I’m releasing a larger body of work soon with guaranteed tunes for festival energy. So I am itching to get amongst it"
