Oxvy.Moron doesn\u2019t play to expectations; even her name isn\u2019t how it seems, with a silent \u201cv\u201d in \u201cOxvy.\u201d The Chicago-based rapper\u2019s visuals are as candy colored as her songs sound. In her music videos and promo photos, she bounces through imaginative artificial scenery that features touches such as golf-course green grass and human-size rainbow-hued daisies. She\u2019s always clothed in bright colors and buoyant silhouettes: fluffy pink hats, electric yellow button-ups with pronounced cuffs, oversize blue satin jackets. But alongside this silliness and play, she\u2019s also sophisticated and deep, with a wide-ranging musical aesthetic and an enlightening degree of knowledge about herself.<\/p>\n
Oxvy.Moron\u2019s lyrics run a thematic gamut\u2014exalting her blessings, meditating on anxiety, stunting on haters\u2014and she weaves through rhymes like a skater breezing around a skate park. Even her most complicated tricks appear nonchalant. She girds her bars with a rich musical palette that incorporates trip-hop, soul, and even a little pop punk. The sound is as eclectic as her attitude: fun but not frivolous, introspective but not melancholic, fierce but not biting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last October, Oxvy.Moron self-released a six-song EP titled Bloom! Phase 1, an optimistic adventure through the complicated journey of coming into self-knowledge. On September 2, she followed it up with a three-song tape called What\u2019s Good? through LittleHeadButt, an emerging local cassette label with an excitingly diverse roster that includes harsh noise and postmetal. It seems a fitting home for an artist who can\u2019t be easily described but brings a distinctive vibe rooted in openness, self-reflection, and growth. For listeners who can party with that kind of sentiment, Oxvy.Moron\u2019s show promises a garden of delights.<\/p>\n
