LEXI BERG - Bermuda Triangle

On Rotation: Lexi Berg "Bermuda Triangle"

Lexi Berg, a Swedish-American singer-songwriter based in London, shared her latest release “Bermuda Triangle,” a haunting and introspective piano ballad that reveals her delicate, lyrical depth. Over the years, Berg has built a reputation for weaving intricate stories with her music, and this latest track is no exception.

Co-written with Jim Eliot and Grammy-winner Jimmy Hogarth, Bermuda Triangle ventures into the disorienting emotions of loneliness, yearning, and isolation. Through rich, metaphor-laden imagery, Berg captures the sense of feeling adrift, like a ship lost at sea. The track’s lyrics, such as “Standing out on my own/ am I invisible?/ Planes flying overhead/ Bermuda Triangle,” evoke a sense of being forgotten, while her piano-driven melodies build into a stunning crescendo of layered vocals that heighten the song’s weight. The ethereal soundscape serves as a perfect vehicle for expressing the ache of feeling disconnected.

In contrast to the folk-inspired energy of her previous release “Lonely Satellite,” “Bermuda Triangle” shifts gears, embracing a minimalist arrangement that places Berg’s voice front and center. Her voice can best be described as emotive and hauntingly beautiful. It has a delicate, almost fragile quality, yet it's powerful in its emotional depth. Furthermore, the production allows the track to grow subtly, with delicate piano chords gradually giving way to swelling harmonies. Berg’s vocals soar as the song progresses, their fragility adding texture and nuance, echoing the vastness the lyrics invoke. It's a testament to Berg’s ability to shift effortlessly between different territories.

With “Bermuda Triangle,” Lexi Berg again proves her unique voice in the indie music landscape. After earning recognition with her first single as an independent artist and garnering attention from platforms like BBC Introducing and Spotify’s New Music Friday, she continues to blend storytelling with one-of-a-kind musicality that is bound to get stuck in your head.
