REVIEW: TAYLOR’s “six-song mini album takes identity politics to the dance-floor with songs such as “One Dot,” “Log Off!” and “Feel It All.” The album radiates with bright synth-pop flourishes built around lyrical themes of perception, the role that technology plays in (mis)communication, and the importance of rising above societal dissonance. For Alxndr, the medium is the message. Promoting respect, solidarity, and interconnectedness amid the city’s creative communities is the bottom line, and Hologram is one big step forward for Alxndr and for Atlanta. — Chad Radford, Creative Loafing Atlanta.

REVIEW: “While many drag stars make more outrageous, externally-directed club pop, Alxndr’s work is dreamy and internally complex, often meditating on connection and communication (unsurprising for someone so focused on community work). You won’t find any ball slang explainers here; over 808 kicks and smeary synths that sound lit from within, Alxndr’s soft, sweet voice muses on tokenization and the frustration of having to play a capitalist game to survive (“One Dot”) and the desire to be present in one’s body and life at all times (“Feel It All”)—trauma most certainly prevents some of us from having those experiences, myself included. This is multifaceted, personal pop, designed for community healing but free of grating platitudes. Hologram is a lovely record, streetlamp-shimmery and radiator-warm, a reminder of the power of interpersonal thoughtfulness and kindness in marginalized communities, and a necessity for these bleak times.” — Jes Skolnik, Bandcamp.
