After a breakout 2024, local singer-songwriter aleksiah continues to hit all the right notes with the release of her new single, ‘Clothes Off’.
The vibrant pop tune addresses sexual shame and negative body image and is another personal release from aleksiah that also shows off her witty lyricism.
“I wrote ‘Clothes Off’ after a period of self-reflection as to why I wasn’t able to have sex. It’s really a diary entry of me scrambling to find some reason as to why I hate myself so much that I wouldn’t allow myself to be intimate and to try and pin the blame on some divine reason,” aleksiah said in a statement about the song.
“Really, it’s just a learned human feeling to not like yourself very much sometimes. I hope people listen to this track and feel a sense of relatability and that this song can also be an easy way to explain to your partner why you can’t take your clothes off because I know so many people feel the same. It’s my way of expressing, ‘It’s not you, it’s me’.”
