Discography
Get in Your Car is Dirty Neon Blue's most popular song on Alexxa B's soundcloud and youtube (alexaflexab) Alexxa B is rapping about a guy chatting her up at a party and who is determined to get her into his car. Platypus Bill made the original beats and harmonises in the jazzy choruses. Check it out!
The next track Less than A Friend was written by Platypus Bill's a dark but catchy song with some nice harmonies that was inspired by the film Fight Club.
Dreams of Africa is a beautiful track. James has taken Alexxa B's orginal folk song that she composed with Terry Bickers, and placed some lovely African inspired riffs beneath it. Alexxa B sings this song to her son as a lullaby. AMUK have also produced a trance version of this song.
Bodyshot has some interesting chord progressions in the verses and is a seedy little number about drinking tequila slammers while Heroine is about rock stars overdosing on drugs and was inspired by Amy Winehouse Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix but was written by Alexxa B last year well before Amy died.
