A cosmic love story that floats between time, space and soft basslines.
Released in February 2024, Escaping Light from NYC-via-Hong Kong artist Maddie Lexandra is an effervescent pop single that lives at the intersection of dreamy indie, R&B and K-pop aesthetics. It’s a song for lovers, stargazers, and those who prefer their romance wrapped in surreal metaphors and glittering soundscapes.
"We can explore the world in our heads..."
That opening lyric sets the tone. What follows is a haze of ethereal harmonies, celestial metaphors, and melodies that swirl like heat waves on a summer night. Maddie’s voice—soft, airy, and emotionally textured—guides listeners through a journey of boundless space and eternal longing.

K-pop precision meets bedroom-pop intimacy.
There’s a clear pop polish here, but it’s never overdone. With a bouncy bassline grounding the track, layered vocals and ambient synths expand it into a full-spectrum listening experience. Like her musical influences—think UMI, Yukika, or early Joji—Maddie straddles the line between introspection and bright-eyed fantasy.
From Hong Kong to NYC, with love.
Now based in New York City, Maddie’s artistic evolution has only deepened her commitment to genre-blending sonic storytelling. Already playlisted on Spotify’s +852 Rising for Hong Kong talent, Escaping Light shows just how internationally fluent her sound truly is.
A debut album is on the way—but this track is already a world of its own.
