CXLOE has returned with her new single, “Flight Risk” today. The track finds her coming to a crossroad as she looks at herself in the mirror and struggles to either accept things in life as they are and proactively make changes, or allow them to hold her back. Listen to the powerful, vulnerable track now below.
CXLOE explains the song, saying, “This is my ‘leave now or forever hold your peace’ song. It’s written with a ‘stream of consciousness’ flow which easily becomes my most vulnerable song to date. And my proudest! I owe so much of that to my brilliant co-writer Eric Leva. Throughout my life I’ve often felt that my deeply emotional nature has molded me into somewhat of a liability. So much so that I’ve convinced myself that distance is the only way to avoid pain. Flight risk is a stream of consciousness song about the fear of hurting someone you love, so running away seems like the best and only option. Its a 3 minute 20 inner monologue that lays out all my flaws in the hope of finding some answers. The production feels very bipolar and doesn’t let you relax even if you think its safe to.”
CXLOE is having a great start to 2023 with “Till The Wheels Fall Off” and “Cheating on Myself” which have both received commercial success. “Till The Wheels Fall Off” was the #1 most played song on Triple J, and “Cheating on Myself” is currently at #5. Along with the success as radio and DSPs, CXLOE has also gained honors with her feature in Rolling Stone AU&NZ Women in Music Issue and back to back years nominated for Rolling Stones Reachers Choice Award.
