Alexandria John (Liza and Weston Cain), a Los Angeles-based sibling duo, returns with a track guaranteed to get listeners rocking. Their latest single, “Taking Off,” is a lusciously glinting dance-pop/disco hybrid, a euphoric break packaged in twisted vocals and anthemic lyricism. It’s a song that requires you to loosen up, with a thumping beat that sounds like an invitation to revel in freedom’s simplest state.
Alexandra John’s intoxicating vocals soar effortlessly above the production, which manages to feel resonant with the past simultaneously and also contemporary. If this track, co-written with David Blackwood and Zachary S. Cohan, sounds pleasing, it also asserts artistic freedom. “Taking Off” shed limitations, believe in yourself, and soar into the unknown.
Added to that is the dazzling accompanying music video, co-directed with Liza Cain and true legend Trey Fanjoy (the mind behind visual spectacles from Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift), which offers perfect visual accompaniment. The video, as its title suggests, firmly situates itself in the retro-futuristic dreamscape of AJ Airlines and turns disco into a full-body experience, whisking fans away on a high-flying jaunt of creativity without reservation.
With “Taking Off,” Alexandra John has delivered an uplifting anthem that embodies the giddying thrill of pursuing who you are, straight up and unfiltered. It’s an invitation to shimmy, to dream, and to fly.
