Los Angeles pop-punk artist deegie has released her album, “EXES,” a bold and brutally honest collection of 10 songs that delve into the complexities of contemporary dating.
The inspiration behind deegie’s latest album came from her online journals, in which she delved into the relationships she experienced over the course of a decade. EXES focuses on the exploration of memory, responsibility, and wisdom gained over time.
Each single is named after one of her ex-boyfriends, making this album a deeply personal diary. “Old Spice (Eric #1)” is dedicated to her former high school boyfriend, Eric, with whom she shares a complicated history. “Go Be with Becca (Zach)” is a fiery pop-punk track that delves into the painful experience of being cheated on. The song narrates how deegie found out about her ex-boyfriend Zach’s infidelity through a stranger on the internet, revealing he was seeing his ex, Becca. The lyrics are filled with witty jabs and powerful vocals, capturing the raw emotion and anger of the situation. Both these and the other songs on “EXES” highlight deegie’s ability to mix raw emotions with catchy choruses.
“EXES” concludes with “Never Look Back (PJ),” a powerful anthem to moving forward. This final track encapsulates the album’s overall theme: learning from the past but not being defined by it. With its anthemic melody and empowering message, it leaves listeners with a sense of closure and hope.
On “EXES,” deegie’s boldness in songwriting shines through. Her emotional openness and empowering energy challenge cultural myths about romance and the impact of toxic relationships. Reminiscent of Olivia Rodrigo and Avril Lavigne, the album’s sound combines nostalgic elements of pop-punk with a fresh, contemporary edge.
In a landscape where many artists shy away from facing uncomfortable truths, deegie stands out as a bold voice who isn’t afraid to share her most real and personal stories.
“EXES” is a raw, unfiltered look at the heart of modern dating, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the tumultuous waters of love and relationships.
