Indie rapper, L3XDIVINE is back with a new project, Speak Up Girl I Can’t Hear You. 

For this project, L3XDIVINE salutes women in music who came before her while assserting her own identity as an artist and as a believer.

The larger scope of the message surrounding the mixtape is her passion for women’s equality, informed not by culture but by her Christian perspective and scripture. She explains this in-depth on Instagram with a promo video for the mixtape:

Speak Up Girl I Can’t Hear You” Mixtape out now! Link in Bio Though I am not a feminist, I do stand unified in the idealism of equality amongst the sexes. I stand in morality, in humility, but also in indignation as a woman who is cultivated in right and wrong. Due to a man's inability to empathize, I exchanged my desire to speak out with passive aggression as a coping mechanism for the countless injustices I saw and felt towards my very own, women. Inferiority challenged every bone in my body. It bursted my lips, cuffed my hands, and slammed me on the hood of car for walking in gray areas that I knew were simply black and white. I was harassed by power tripping belligerents who followed me home after I've stated my disinterest in knowing them intimately and they worked aggressively to intimidate my weaker frame with an end goal of submission. Men have gazed upon us but they did not see our strength. Men have heard us but only our pitches. The sphere of the man and the sphere of the woman are often cynically contrasted, meanwhile our parallels are overlooked just like sexism. There is a divide and we must be met in the middle. Not with compassion, and not with empty promises, but with understanding and with actions that leads to change.

She puts various icons on display— women who’ve made their mark across indusries as gamechangers, leaders and influencers; from the cover art to the strategically selected samples from MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliot and more.

This project really takes you on a ride sonically, lyrically and conceptually.  The flow L3XDIVINE brings to each song is exceptional and her vocals are always pristine.

Be sure to check out the full mixtape via Bandcamp here.

New Christian R&B Artist “GiGi” Shares What Inspired Her New Sound & Life Change

Published

on

Spread the love

GiGi didn’t always know Faith based music would be her lane. Before stepping into Christian R&B, she was preparing to release a secular record, but things didn’t move the way she expected. Doors closed, plans shifted, and what felt confusing at the time ended up being intentional.

That season forced a real decision. Instead of pushing through what wasn’t working, she paid attention to the signs and what God was speaking to her heart in that season. It was during this time of transition that she decided to fully surrender her sound to God. And that “yes” changed everything, not just in direction, but in how her music started to come together.

Out of that shift came her 2025 release “Everlasting,” where listeners first heard the difference. The single centered on obedience, intimacy with God, and what it looks like to trust His direction even when it interrupts your own plans. It wasn’t just a new song — it marked a turning point in her story.

Her music was manifesting in a more grounded message – something more honest, and more connected to her actual walk. It wasn’t just about creating a vibe for attention or to pursue fame. It has now become her goal to make it clear that this version of her and her music is about purpose and inspiring others through Christ. It’s never easy in any industry taking a public stand like this. But, the single was met with nothing less than respect and great feedback from fans on her sound, the message of transformation and the vibes! She has landed interviews on Sirius XM while also being featured on countless blogs – only proving that she’s heading in the right direction.

Now with her latest single “My Heart,” she continues on that same pathway. This song leans into more vulnerability, touching on trust, surrender, and what it looks like to give God access to every part of you. It carries the smooth, familiar feel of R&B, but with continued intention behind every lyric.

That balance is important right now. The sound of R&B is shifting, and so are listeners. People are looking for more than something that just sounds good — they want music that connects, that reflects real life, and in many cases, something that speaks to where they are spiritually.

GiGi is stepping into that space, even if it’s not where she originally planned to be. She’s answering a call that didn’t fully make sense at first, but now shows up clearly in the music she’s creating. And that honesty is what makes it land every time.

Sometimes doors close so we can hear what’s actually meant for us. For GiGi, that led to a sound that reflects who she is now, and it’s clear she’s only building from here.

We’re excited to keep watching this artist grow! Scroll down to hear both singles that have been birthed from this new transition in her life and music.
