Alexis Texas by Lil Esso

Toronto Music Archive

Esso has released a smash hit single titled "Alexis Texas." You don't have to listen to the song to realize that Esso has some of the finest hooks in the game. This song is no exception. The catchy hook isn't the only highlight. In his verses, Esso uses some incredible vocal tones and delivery. It just has this infectious sound to it, everything from the instrumentals to the vocals, it goes so well together. He's essentially nailed his cadence at this point, there is no question of that. The intensity, flow, and delivery are all spot on, and the end result is a radio smash hit with a lot of TikTok appeals. This is a track that might go viral on TikTok, but there are a few things to keep an eye out for. Esso is an artist that can’t be boxed in. His adaptability will serve him well in the long run. His voice is an instrument that I've heard used effectively in genres such as rap. His voice and vocal range are what allow him to perform almost anything, especially because he is the one who records and mixes his own music. The only limit is your imagination. However, whether you hear it on TikTok or on the radio, this single will most definitely get stuck in your head; its irresistible melody and diverse lines are enough to entice anyone to listen to it again and over. The only thing left to do is make a music video including Alexis herself as a cameo, and this song will be a certified smash.
