Blazing New R&B Artist Alexis Finley recently release “Sensitive Savage”

Alexis Danielle Finley, a 90’s baby, born March 15 in Houston, TX.

As a child, she always participated in extracurricular activities such as dance, sports and the choir at church and at school. Being surrounded by a musically gifted family, they realized she definitely had a gift. At age 5 she fell in love with the Song “how did you get here” by Deborah Cox. At age 16 she joined a girl group by the name of CLASS, that lasted for about 2 months and due to management, they had to part ways. After graduating from Westside High School, Alexis went on to Stephen F Austin State University to obtain a Bachelor of Music in Sound Recording Technology, exposing her to the production side of music. Throughout her college journey Alexis performed at multiple events to get comfortable on the stage. After graduating the primary focus was to be a singer/ engineer.

Releasing her 1st EP, “Recovery” (released January 2019) which came from personal experiences of a girl becoming a woman. Her second EP, “Sensitive Savage” (released October 2020) showcase the levels of healing from heart-break and demonstrating different levels of emotions. Both projects discuss some heartbreak that lead to a place of healing and peace. Alexis speaks truth in her lyrics and expresses each word with each note she sings to motivate women of all backgrounds to get over the heartbreak and learn to love yourself- All of yourself!

We've all been lost in toxic love trying to gather the reigns before breaking completely. While some lose themselves to the pain, others are finding ways to channel their breakthrough to uplift others. AFinleyMusic is the flower that grew from darkness. Rather than crafting more "F" love anthems, singer Alexis Finley released her first five-track EP titled "Recovery" to encourage women to grow better and not bitter after a heartbreak. The singer expressed a new attitude in her recent EP titled "Sensitive Savage" with seven anthem tracks that gives men second thoughts about pushing a good woman away.

"There's something about experiencing a bad romance," states Finley. "Something breaks inside of you, then a switch goes off and the evolution of self begins. This EP is the next stage in life where you begin to put yourself first and tap into savage mode after rejection."

In her hit single "Risk" from first EP Recovery, the music video showcased visuals of a good girl gone bad. The setting was based on the image of women in the 1960s era, showcasing domesticated behavior and the will to cater to her man. After experiencing humiliation, she evolves and reveals a more free spirit and dominating nature.

In her video for "Feelings," listeners can see Finley pick things up where she left off in "Risk" and unleash the beast.

"I ain't here for it; I can't ignore it; what do you take me for?

Baby, you can hit the door...with your feelings."

"I chose those lyrics because we as women often mold ourselves to become the woman of our significant other's dreams. These lyrics are basically saying I'm not the woman you thought I was, so allow me to remind you who I am," states Finley.

Ultimately, "Sensitive Savage" is all about who you become after you see the light at the end of the tunnel; it’s when you discover what you're capable of when enough is enough. Listeners will embrace the vulnerability laid out in each track and will find a piece of themselves in any verse. SENSITIVE SAVAGE--The stage between heartbreak & recovery! After recovering from heartbreak, we turn into a SAVAGE trying to learn how to love ourselves and be ourselves again. Although we are still experiencing a little sensitivity from being broken, We have to guard our hearts and learn our worth.
