Baton Rouge artist Maudixi continues carving out her own space with her refreshing, soulful new single “not listening”. Sitting at the crossroads of alternative R&B, neo-soul, indie rock, and bedroom pop, the song unfolds naturally, built on gentle acoustic guitar, steady percussion, and a bassline that engagingly anchors everything in place.
Her vocal performance feels emotive yet assured, moving smoothly through the verses before opening up in a chorus that feels instinctive and memorable. There’s a conversational quality to the song- like a thought forming in real time- that makes it feel approachable without losing depth. Lyrically, “not listening” explores emotional boundaries and self-awareness, capturing moments of clarity that come from paying attention to your own instincts.
Following releases like “Alice” and “Blue Mona Lisa,” “not listening” further showcases Maudixi building songs that remain intentional and heartfelt. “not listening” adds another strong chapter to a catalog that values honesty, balance, and emotional clarity, while bringing a knack for sharp songwriting and versatility.
