On Alexandra Savior’s new album, Beneath The Lilypad (RCA Records)—a collection crafted
over the past five years—the singer, songwriter, and musician takes listeners on an ethereal
journey. Woven together through 11 lushly orchestrated songs, the album follows the last half-
decade of Alexandra’s life, a time during which her sense of self and artistic identity came into
question, allowing for a creative freedom driven entirely by instinct and the desire to make music
wholly for herself. Beneath The Lilypad does not tread a linear path—its arc does not follow an
artist from difficult times to fully healed. “Because that’s not how life goes, and that’s certainly
not been true of my journey,” she says with a laugh. “I wanted the tracking of this album to really
reflect that: life is up and down. It wouldn’t have been true to who I am or where I am to have
told this story any other way.”
