Lieb is signed to Ear Drummer Records, the label founded by Grammy-winning producer Mike WiLL Made-It.
Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Alexa Lieb (@soulex) is stepping into her most confident era with “Red Lips,” a standout single from her debut project December Baby. Blending soulful vocals with stripped-down, garage-band-inspired production, the track captures a simple but powerful moment of self-expression, finding confidence without needing a full transformation.
“Red Lips is about how it’s too cold to go out and wear something that makes me feel sexy, so I just put on a red lip and that’s enough to make me feel empowered and hot,” Lieb shares. The song leans into playful femininity and everyday empowerment, proving that confidence does not have to be complicated. Sometimes it is just one bold choice away.
Known for her emotionally driven songwriting, Lieb began writing music as a teenager, using it as a form of self-therapy and creative release. Her sound lives at the intersection of pop, soul, and raw, DIY energy, drawing inspiration from artists like Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Adele, and Michael Jackson while remaining deeply rooted in personal storytelling.
Adding another layer of momentum to her rise, Lieb is signed to Ear Drummer Records, the label founded by Grammy-winning producer Mike WiLL Made-It. Known for shaping some of the most influential records in modern hip-hop and pop, Ear Drummer has become a home for boundary-pushing artists with strong creative identities. For Lieb, the partnership reflects both her growing visibility and the confidence behind her artistic direction, positioning her alongside a new generation of forward-thinking talent while allowing her to continue developing her voice authentically.
December Baby has quickly emerged as a breakout debut for Lieb. The project was featured by Apple Music as the #2 album on their Holiday New Releases list, while “Red Lips” currently lives on Apple Music’s “New in Pop” playlist, introducing her music to a rapidly expanding audience.
More than a seasonal release, December Baby serves as a personal snapshot of Lieb’s identity, emotions, and creative freedom. With “Red Lips,” she invites listeners into a moment of joy, confidence, and self-belief, setting the tone for an artist whose next chapter is only just beginning.
