In this heartfelt episode of Pop Beyond, we sit down with singer, songwriter, and producer Alexa Lopez to dive into the emotional layers of her music — from her self-produced EP Love, Death + Music to the concept-driven project breakup breakdown breakthrough, inspired by the five stages of grief.

Alexa talks about growing up in a musical family, how she blends genres like indie pop, R&B, and jazz without losing her core, and why her voice feels “purple, warm, and cold at the same time.” She opens up about authenticity, softness as strength, and navigating creative blocks while staying true to herself in an industry full of expectations.

We also talk about live performance, her color-coded FLINTA* band show in Vienna, and the rituals that ground her before stepping on stage.

This episode is about honesty, healing, and the quiet power of making music that feels — even when it hurts.

In this episode of Pop Beyond, we dive deep into the sonic universe of producer and multi-instrumentalist Bluefoxx, also known as Diana Heidernätsch. She shares the story behind her latest concept album exploring all the minor keys, and why melancholic tonality holds such emotional and philosophical weight for her.

We talk about her unique approach to combining classical piano with synth-based soundscapes, how she builds ambient textures with depth and space, and what it means to craft music around a long-term conceptual vision. Diana also reflects on her journey as a female producer in the electronic scene, common misconceptions about instrumental music, and the value of staying focused in a fast-paced industry.

A conversation about creative discipline, emotional storytelling, and the beauty of thinking beyond the beat.
