Alex Sandra – Barbie Girl – All Metal Everything

Alex Sandra (Aleksandra Marshaniia) is a Alt-rock artist based in San Francisco. She was born in the country of Georgia but grew up in Russia. She fronted a successful alt-rock band during her formative years before continuing her career in China, where she would sing pop hits for thousands and begin releasing her own original music. Alex moved to the United States in 2020 and currently performs all over the San Francisco Bay Area.

Alex’s music is inspired by a diverse range of artists and styles — everything from the raw emotion of Linkin Park to the pageantry of Lady Gaga. Her lyrics are honest and direct; she invites the listener to join her as she tells stories about identity, perseverance, and love.

Haunting harmonies, aggressive riffing, and a touch of Georgian Folk, this detailed and catchy rejection of societal body image pressures is the latest from San Francisco alt artist Alex Sandra. Featuring a pop sensibility that pushes the expectations of both metalcore and alt-rock, Barbie Girl experiments with different percussion styles from around the world and a contrasting whisper-vocal breakdown that builds and explodes into a brutal finale. What’s most striking about Alex Sandra’s newest effort is just how approachable and relatable the lyrical content and performance style is in spite of the intensity that permeates every note.
