Liverpool-based artist Pixey has announced the release of her debut album, Million Dollar Baby (pre-save here), scheduled for digital release on August 2nd via Chess Club Records. Alongside this announcement, Pixey has shared the album’s high-energy title track, which premiered last night with Sian Eleri on BBC Radio 1.
Describing the inspiration behind Million Dollar Baby, Pixey said, “The track is satirical at its heart, narrating the absurdity of chasing fame and sugar-coated ambition. It reflects a lot of truths I realised while writing the album. The performative nature of the music industry often peddles illusions, and real fulfilment comes from writing the music itself.”
The single comes with a music video directed by Daniel Pattman of Say Goodnight Films and showcases Pixey’s unique blend of 90s breakbeats and contemporary pop. The video and the track have already garnered attention for their dynamic presentation and catchy rhythms.
Pixey’s journey through music has been marked by her multi-instrumental talents and her ability to blend different genres to create a sound distinctly her own. The upcoming album Million Dollar Baby is a culmination of her years of musical exploration and personal growth. “This album is more than just music to me; it’s the final form of years of trying to prove myself,” Pixey explains.
In addition to her album release, Pixey has also announced a headline tour this September, with dates in London, Leeds, Glasgow, and her hometown of Liverpool.
Live Dates:
- September 25: Lower Third, London
- September 26: Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds
- September 27: King Tuts, Glasgow
- September 28: Arts Club, Liverpool
