Emerging from Baton Rouge, Maudixi is steadily shaping a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. Her latest single, “not listening,” finds the singer-songwriter continuing to blur the lines between alternative R&B, neo-soul, indie rock, and the hushed vulnerability of bedroom pop. Rather than chasing trends, she leans into subtlety, crafting music that prioritizes feeling and intention.
Gentle acoustic guitar introduce “not listening”, soon joined by grounded percussion and a warm, steady bassline that gives the song its pulse. The arrangement leaves room to breathe, allowing each element to settle naturally. Maudixi’s voice carries the center with ease- measured in the verses, then opening into a chorus that feels both instinctive and quietly powerful. Lyrically, the song reflects on emotional boundaries and the clarity that comes from trusting your inner voice. There’s a conversational undercurrent to her delivery, as if the thoughts are forming in real time. That immediacy gives the track a relatable depth, balancing self-awareness with vulnerability.
Following earlier releases like “Alice” and “Blue Mona Lisa,” “not listening” marks another step forward in Maudixi’s artistic evolution. She continues to refine her ability to translate introspection into melody, pairing reflective storytelling with fluid, genre-blending production. Each release adds dimension to a catalog rooted in sincerity and emotional clarity. With “not listening,” Maudixi reinforces her identity as an artist committed to nuance and authenticity. It’s a song that lingers softly, inviting repeat listens and confirming that her creative voice is only growing more distinct.
