Her name speaks for herself, or rather for all of us. vōx, Latin for “voice” and often band shorthand for “vocals,” doubles as a symbol of unity for the LA artist–her voice is our voice too. It is her chosen instrument, and her new EP, I Was Born, is resplendent in vocoder and layered a cappella. Her music has an uplifting spirituality that reflects the faults of life, most accessible in her single and video for “I Still Care.” The title is a selective misnomer, where the line could evoke a reassurance out of context, but actually refers to the acceptance of hidden insecurities: “They say life begins when you no longer care what anyone thinks of you. But I still care.”
