Beyond the Song – Alexa Lopez on Softness, Strength & Self-Production

In this heartfelt episode of Pop Beyond, we sit down with singer, songwriter, and producer Alexa Lopez to dive into the emotional layers of her music — from her self-produced EP Love, Death + Music to the concept-driven project breakup breakdown breakthrough, inspired by the five stages of grief. 

Alexa talks about growing up in a musical family, how she blends genres like indie pop, R&B, and jazz without losing her core, and why her voice feels “purple, warm, and cold at the same time.” She opens up about authenticity, softness as strength, and navigating creative blocks while staying true to herself in an industry full of expectations. 

We also talk about live performance, her color-coded FLINTA* band show in Vienna, and the rituals that ground her before stepping on stage. 

This episode is about honesty, healing, and the quiet power of making music that feels — even when it hurts.
