PiPEllA’s Encouraging New Single «Robot Overlord»

PiPEllA, a soaring cinematic rock artist, has released her fiery new pop song, «Robot Overlord», an impassioned take on identifying as an asexual while fighting for the representation they earn to strengthen their community.

The second song from her upcoming album, PiPEllA: The Worlds Traveler, addresses common misconceptions about the asexual community. «Robot Overlord» is PiPEllA’s song for defying stereotypes and empowering her community by addressing stigmas. When asked about the meaning of the song, PiPEllA explains, «I had been called a robot more than once by people outside the Ace spectrum because they couldn’t fathom that a real person might not experience sexual attraction», which was inspired by an interaction on a dating site. The track leaves listeners energised and eager for more, similar to viewing a happy-ending movie.

The sounds of the drums beating faster, similar to those heard from a marching band displaying victory and empowerment, add to the thrill. PiPEllA passionately sings lyrics that describe her experience and fans will relate to, such as «my indifferences drive you mad, but soon you’ll understand I am your ‘Robot Overlord’», as the synths and guitar progressively rise in the background. PiPEllA wrote «Robot Overlord», which was created by Morgan Clae and mixed by Tommy Sanker.

PiPEllA grew up in Houston, Texas, and began her singing career at the age of nine. She discovered her love of music while writing melodies for her brother’s music and soon started writing her own melodies and lyrics. The upcoming musician is a trilingual polyglot (English, Spanish, and Korean) who enjoys storytelling and is presently based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has merged her imagination and fantasies with indie rock energies, art pop, and arena rock to deliver electrifying performances, heavily influenced by film soundtracks such as Tarzan and Lord of the Rings. PiPEllA is currently working on her first big project, PiPEllA: The Worlds Traveler, with her first single, «Afterglow», released last year and her follow-up, «Robot Overlord» released in March 2023.
