Begonia emerged into the Canadian music scene with her critically acclaimed 2017 EP Lady In Mind. Begonia’s 2019 debut full-length album, Fear, was nominated for a JUNO Award for Adult Alternative Album Of The Year and was longlisted for The Polaris Music Prize. Songs from the album were also heard in numerous productions on Netflix & Oprah Winfrey Network, and NPR named Begonia as one of 10 Artists You Need to Know. Begonia's new album Powder Blue, feels timeless and classic as well as eclectic. Trip-hop beats and propulsive grooves pulse throughout the album, shadowing Alexa Dirks' stunning voice; she alternates between a dusky croon and an expressive, belting delivery. The album nods to vintage soul, sunny R&B, and soaring balladry. Yet the album is firmly in the realm of contemporary music with its modern, keyboard-polished pop that features Dirks' powerful vocal performance.
