Xylo Aria - MRI

Melbourne-based alt-R&B artist Xylo Aria has today unveiled her latest offering called "MRI", the follow-up to her previous single, "Pig" released earlier this year. Teaming up with London producers and songwriters Morghan James and James Crisp, "MRI" is a minimalist track that tells a story through it's slow but deliberate build to transport the listener to a slightly different destination that one would originally expect.

Aria's signature vocals provide an entrancing bed for the lyrical creations of congestive linguist, Morghan James, this coupled with mastering at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios by the talented Christian Wright (Massive Attack, Radiohead, Bjork, Coldplay) makes for an alluring track. The transition from a steel string guitar and an easy drum groove to a harder synth and more experimental, rhythmic section is seamless and provides a polished track with an element of surprise.

The song discusses the way thoughts and perceptions of people can morph and change drastically as people age and bring their own life experience into their comprehension of the world, to the extent that the context and meaning of a pure image can be changed completed depending on the eyes it's viewed through.

Xylo Aria will be celebrating the release of "MRI" on December 19th at Strongroom Bar in Shoreditch, London. There are also remixes of the track in the pipeline from producers across the UK, Australia and Norway.

The collaborative releases are to continue for Xylo Aria through the early months of 2019 with tracks currently in completion with other UK artists, including south London rapper Stacey Foxx as well as producers closer to home. This will be followed by her self-produced EP that tackles environmental issues that are close to her heart. So stay tuned for more.
