Toronto born Los Angeles based Alt-Pop singer-songwriter, mental health & LGBTQIA+ advocate X. ARI is set to release her new EP Anja on July 23rd. In the lead up to the EP release, X. ARI premiered the acoustic music video for her third single “Stranger To Saviour" yesterday exclusively with PopWrapped. X. ARI has always made it a point throughout her career to highlight her life experiences including living and thriving with metal health challenges (ADHD, Bipolar 1, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, OCD, PTSD episodes, Anxiety, and Depression) When it comes to her life and her music X. ARI has a simple, but important motto: "Pain Into Power” which means "turning your weaknesses into your biggest strengths, thereby making your burdens your blessings.” X. ARI uses her music and her platform to help others know they are not alone out there and that they too can have a fulfilling life by channeling their Pain Into Power. Following in the theme of highlighting her life experiences X. ARI’s forthcoming EP is dedicated to her first ever/ current girlfriend Anja. As X. ARI describes it “our love has been life changing and healing for me. After a lifetime of dating men I am so grateful for listening to my spirit guides and allowing myself to be open to a partnership with a woman.” Much like her past music focusing on her personal life experiences, this new EP focuses on her new relationship and newly found sexuality, as can be seen on the already released tracks “Stranger To Saviour”, “Good For Me”, and “She Knows”. According to American Songwriter, "She Knows" leaves fans with a message to “feel good in their skin and love themselves fully." X. ARI’s goal is to make a global impact as not only an artist, but as an advocate, and public speaker to spread her message of love, light, and self-care resources to help heal the world.
When asked about her inspiration for the acoustic music video, she explained that “the video of the acoustic version of "Stranger to Saviour" was shot at DTLA loft. We kept the setting simple to match the simplicity of the stripped down accompaniment of vocals, keys, and acoustic guitar. This song is most emotionally driven on my "Anja" EP, so this version showcases the lyrics and vocals in the forefront with very little instrumental distractions to allow the listener to connect more deeply to the messages, which entail transformation, newfound love, spirituality, and inner evolution.”
On top of her forthcoming EP X. ARI has a lot planned for 2021 with upcoming concerts scheduled as the world begins to open back up. In the build up to the release of Anja, X. ARI will be performing as part of Ryan Cassata’s show at Oasis House Show “Queer Party”, on July 18th at 7pm, followed by a free acoustic show on July 29th at 8pm at Stone Street Coffee Company. Recently X. ARI performed at Proud & Loud Concert with partial proceeds of X. ARI's ticket sales going to NAMI Westside LA (National Alliance on Mental Illness) a charity that is extremely important to X. ARI. Stay tuned for more on the Anja EP and join X. ARI's mailing list to be the first to find out about her wellness festival featuring live music, film, comedy, self-care sessions, and creative workshops in May, 2022 in LA.
