Today, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the fabulous Pandora Boxx, discussing her new dance album, "Boxx." As a longtime fan, I couldn't wait to dive into the details of this vibrant and deeply personal album with Pandora.
A Danceable Journey
Pandora designed "Boxx" with the intention of making something fun and danceable, and it truly delivers. Whether you're grooving at work, on a walk, or even at the grocery store, the beats are infectious. One standout track is “Dance,” which Pandora revealed is her favorite, complete with a music video. She also has a soft spot for "Pill," a song with deeper, introspective lyrics woven with whimsical references to Alice in Wonderland.
From Comedy to Catharsis
Discussing the inspiration behind "Boxx," Pandora shared how her previous songs were more comedic and light-hearted. With Boxx, she sought to create music with more personal meaning. With the support of a successful Kickstarter campaign, Pandora embarked on this new, cathartic journey, writing all the lyrics herself with the help of two producers.
The Creative Process
Pandora’s songwriting process varies. Sometimes ideas strike while she's in the car, necessitating a quick voice memo. Other times, she sets aside dedicated hours at night, cocktails in hand, letting emotions pour out. Influenced by artists like Robyn and Sia, Pandora aimed to craft songs that, while dealing with deep and sometimes dark themes, remain danceable and uplifting.
Connecting Through Music
What makes "Boxx" truly special is its ability to resonate on multiple levels. Pandora’s tracks, while fun and danceable, also offer depth and introspection, appealing to listeners who have navigated their own life's highs and lows. Pandora hopes that her music can make people smile, dance, and feel less alone in their struggles.
